Ongoing projects
Digital x Scale
Company scale is often deemed a yardstick of success by operators, investors and policymakers however, it is difficult to define and challenging to measure – particularly in the context of Africa. Our student research team has collaborated with the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office to explore the drivers of scale among digital companies in Africa and to help build a sector-wide understanding of how we can measure scale and the factors that enable it.
