Back in May, French President Emmanuel Macron brought political leaders from Africa to Paris to discuss the financial challenges facing their countries. Now he's turning to the private sector, with hundreds of entrepreneurs from across the continent among those attending a summit in the southern French city of Montpellier. So what are the challenges and opportunities for entrepreneurs in Africa today?
Stephen Carroll sits down with two businesswomen taking part in the event:
- Hafou Touré Samb is the founder and CEO of HTS Partners, a financial advisory firm based in Ivory Coast that works with small and medium enterprises.
- Fatma Midani is the co-founder and CEO of Soul and Planet, a Tunisian online marketplace for healthy and environmentally friendly products.
