Abstract

This volume examines how entrepreneurship, innovation, and digitalisation are reshaping livelihoods and businesses across Africa, with a focus on multiple value creation—the simultaneous pursuit of economic, social, and environmental impact. Drawing on diverse studies from various regions and sectors, the book highlights how African entrepreneurs are leveraging technology, digital platforms, and financial innovations to build resilience, expand opportunities, and foster inclusive growth.
