Africa – a continent of growth, potential and opportunities
Many African countries are on an upward trend:
improved political conditions
implementing stronger economic policies
Africa’s GDP is expected to grow 2.0% in 2010
G8 cancelled the remaining debts of 16 African
countries more freedom to increase spending on
healthcare and infrastructure
Governmental investments of more than $30 billion
in 2008 to help close the developmental divide This
trend is set to continue and accelerate in the future
Major sporting events and increased tourism are
having a positive knock-on effect e.g. South Africa
2010 World Cup

There is a huge need for infrastructure investments
Nearly 530 million Africans lack access to electricity. According
to the UN, this figure could reach 600 million in 20 years.
More than 300 million Africans lack access to safe drinking
water, with millions of people dying each year from
preventable waterborne illnesses.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates
that 75-250 million people will have to cope with additional
limitations to water access.
More than 50% of Africa’s population do not have access to
modern health facilities; life expectancy is below 50 years in most
countries.
According to the International Finance Corporation, an estimated
$25-$30 billion in new investments will be needed to meet demand
for medical care between 2005 and 2016.

Lagos in Nigeria is expected to become the world‘s
eleventh biggest city by 2015 with 17 million
inhabitants.
With more people moving to cities demand is
increasing for efficient and sustainable
infrastructure, such as energy, transportation and
water, as well as healthcare.

Example for green technology: Energy saving lamps for Africa
In a pilot project OSRAM offers residents around
Lake Victoria – far from power grids – energy-
saving lamps
The power comes from "Energy Hubs“ – small
electrical charging stations (three in Kenya, one in
Uganda)
Along with the lamps, purified drinking water and a
mobile phone recharging service is provided
Our goal is to build a further 100 or so Energy Hubs
in Africa

Stuart Clarkson
CEO Siemens South Africa
South Africa is a country of contrasts
It is characterized by well developed
cosmopolitan cities, excellent facilities and
a high standard of living …
… but also by a huge, yet closing, gap
between rich and poor. Transformation
