What’s happening in Africa?
Florent Nduwayezu, Syndicate Investor at EUVC, shared that Africa is beginning to see a steady return of exit activity, especially in the form of mergers and acquisitions. After a post-2021 lull, investor interest is gradually recovering, with recent major deals, such as a high-profile remittance company acquisition in South Africa, drawing attention. He noted strong demand for solutions in cross-border payments, with high transaction costs and regulatory fragmentation presenting clear opportunities for innovation.
