Retail in Africa making waves

The 2014 Retail Congress Africa Award for Innovation has been awarded to the Okunoren Twins - Nigerian clothing icons. The awards celebrates retailers who are driving change with inspirational vision and foresight. The Okunoren Twins will be at the Retail Congress Africa happening on 18-19 November in Johannesburg to accept their award and share insights into their success. How did Facebook manage to become global so fast, reaching 500-million users in two years? Ian Henderson looks into localisation, and how this strategy helped the social media giant. It's no secret that mobile is taking the world by storm, especially in Africa, but what about mobile money? Vahid Monadjem shares his views into this solution for cash to digital convergence. Last but not least, the winners of the AABLA West African winners have been announced, so be sure to check them out. PS: Don't forget to enter our #myofficeinafrica competition on Instagram.
