Inclusive growth is a term being used more frequently when talking about sustainable and continued growth for the African continent. A particular focus across events is the youth and how to creates jobs for the next generation, as Africa's youth bubble grows. There were wonderful good news stories for Africa this week, including the announcement by Heineken of a new $100m brewery in Mozambique; and the fact that Africa Code Week this year empowered 1.3 million young Africans with basic coding skills; Nigerian business tycoon Aliko Dangote was named one of Bloomberg's 50 most influential in 2017 - the only African on the list; and Nielsen Sports expanded into Africa with the acquisition of Repucom Africa.
