“Our original vision for Made in Africa was to create something that could bring real change for the continent through sustainable, infrastructural developments with a truly African agenda. I believe this monumental relationship we have struck with the African Development bank has created the means for such a vision. The support we have received for this project is marked by everyone here today. The expertise involved across this project, in both the development and financial arms, will help Africa to finally reach its full potential in the global market.”
