Description:
Africa, Inc. is a corporation whose main mission is to modernize western perceptions of the African continent, one person at a time. Through our major project TAGS, we hope to present a new image of the continent. This is the image rarely depicted by the international media, but is known to the many educated, intelligent, and dedicated citizens of the continent. Through market research and our Entrepreneurial Development Program, we are bringing African businesses online and creating guides to 65 major cities on the continent. Ambitiously, we have tasked ourselves with partnering two frontiers, modern Africa and cyberspace. We truly believe both have boundless potential. While we want to expose all aspects of modern African culture, our absolute priority is providing a space for African businesses to grow. The focus of TAGS is on small business and the creation of the Consortium, the continent's first comprehensive business (URL removed) the end, we will have the first continental business and individual person directory, business ratings, local cultural guides, and full entertainment portals. This is a company by Africans, for Africans and the wider international community.
