Summary:

This ebook is of high relevance, since it focuses on a huge continent-Africa, with high promises but also strong uncertainties. Among the promises, those relating to the leveraging of intellectual capital are certainly the most prominent. We can even assume that potentially, and taking a medium/long -term perspective as well as some countries projects and achievements, Africa has the potential of being a new frontier for Intellectual capital. Some might find such a proposal too ambitious and even quite naïve, taking into account the way the continent is often perceived in media and other places, as well as among others- the on-going debate and challenges, especially in Europe, on immigration. But beyond these factual elements, there are strong arguments for looking to the issue from a different angle: the potential and the energy which might be produced by African people, their young population and their cultural diversity.
