Africa’s entrepreneurial ecosystem is filled with innovators, founders, and businesses solving real problems.
However, according to communications strategist and founder of Savvy Media Africa, Tofunmi Akinseye, the continent’s biggest challenge has not been a shortage of entrepreneurs but the absence of structures that connect talent, capital, markets, and opportunities.
Akinseye shared this perspective while reflecting on her experience as communications lead for the Afretrade Entrepreneurs Festival (TAEF), a platform designed to bring together entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and business leaders to strengthen Africa’s business environment.
Tofunmi Akinseye is a magazine publisher, PR specialist, and founder of Savvy Media Africa, with a strong focus on telling African stories and positioning brands for greater visibility.
As the Founder and Publisher of Savvy Magazine, she has curated 17 editions, creating a platform that celebrates African excellence across entertainment, lifestyle, business, and culture.
