Africa – a continent of growth, potential and opportunities
Many African countries are on an upward trend:improved political conditions implementing stronger economic policies
Africa’s GDP is expected to grow 2.0% in 2010
G8 cancelled the remaining debts of 16 African countries more freedom to increase spending on healthcare and infrastructure
Governmental investments of more than $30 billionin 2008 to help close the developmental divide This trend is set to continue and accelerate in the future
Major sporting events and increased tourism are having a positive knock-on effect e.g. South Africa 2010 World Cup

There is a huge need for infrastructure investments
Nearly 530 million Africans lack access to electricity. According to the UN, this figure could reach 600 million in 20 years.
More than 300 million Africans lack access to safe drinkingwater, with millions of people dying each year from preventable waterborne illnesses.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that 75-250 million people will have to cope with additional limitations to water access.
More than 50% of Africa’s population do not have access to modern health facilities; life expectancy is below 50 years in most countries.
According to the International Finance Corporation, an estimated$25-$30 billion in new investments will be needed to meet demand for medical care between 2005 and 2016.

As one of the fastest urbanizing continents Africa offers excellent business opportunities for all three Siemens sectors
Rate of urbanization:
Lagos in Nigeria is expected to become the world‘s eleventh biggest city by 2015 with 17 million inhabitants.
With more people moving to cities demand is increasing for efficient and sustainable infrastructure, such as energy, transportation and water, as well as healthcare.

Example for green technology: Energy saving lamps for Africa
In a pilot project OSRAM offers residents around Lake Victoria – far from power grids – energy-saving lamps
The power comes from "Energy Hubs“ – small electrical charging stations (three in Kenya, one in Uganda)
Along with the lamps, purified drinking water and a mobile phone recharging service is provided
Our goal is to build a further 100 or so Energy Hubs in Africa
Siemens in South AfricaActive engagement since 1860

South Africa is a country of contrasts
It is characterized by well developed cosmopolitan cities, excellent facilities and a high standard of living …
… but also by a huge, yet closing, gap between rich and poor. Transformation remains the top priority.
