Organised by: Vinnova
Digitally Fri 31 Jan 2025 at 09:00-10:30

By 2050, the African population will make up 25 percent of the world's population. By 2030, 18 of the world's 30 fastest growing economies are expected to be on the African continent. Södra Afrika also plays a central role in the green transition, as 30 percent of the world's critical raw materials are found there. För Vinnova, Africa is a prioritized and interesting region in terms of access to critical raw materials.
