Description

Africa is emerging as a global growth frontier. The primary reasons supporting its rise are its high GDP growth rate, which exceeds the global average, a rapidly growing young population, and robust domestic and foreign investments in key sectors such as automotive, mining, oil and gas, and agriculture and agro-processing. Rapid urbanization is another factor elevating the continent’s significance on the global platform. Additionally, increased investments in green businesses and digitalization boost the region’s productivity and manufacturing capacity. Africa’s mineral-rich reserves also make it a driving force supporting the low-carbon economy vision of the future. This study explores the continent’s development prospects and evolution over the years in terms of economic, social, and demographic perspectives. It discusses high-potential sectors and provides insights into the promising factors driving their growth. To help companies capitalize on growth opportunities, the report identifies the transformative megatrends and emerging green technologies companies are investing in to gain a competitive advantage.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
