RSVP for Madison Committee on Foreign Relations

press release: The Madison Committee on Foreign Relations presents “Brace Yourself!  Africa is Coming!”!

Speaker:   Richard Zurba, Director of Zurcom International

This event is co-sponsored by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation.

Africa stands to be a social and  economic dynamo in the coming decades.  Sub-Saharan Africa is the only global region destined to grow exponentially in population: from about 1 billion now to 2.5 billion by 2050.  With that, the GDP per capita is rising quickly at the same time, creating a confluence that will likely make Africa an economic powerhouse in our lifetime.  Underneath the statistics is human behaviour.  What are the forces behind this expected growth?  Richard Zurba will be discussing  the growth in Africa with some thoughts on the African youth culture – which will be the driving entrepreneurial business culture propelling Africa through this century.  Come with some of your own thoughts and expect a lively discussion about this exciting emerging market.
