Corporate venture capital is relatively new in the African venture capital space, but it has increasing potential. This week on the podcast, we sit with Benjamin Toulouze, the head of Corporate Venture Capital & Managing Director at Axian Group, a pan-African group with a presence in 15 countries.
Benjamin is an experienced corporate venture capitalist and in this episode, we discuss the intersection of corporate and traditional venture capital, and how both can complement each other to drive startup success.
We dive into the importance of stability and regulatory harmony in Africa's growth and explore promising sectors such as fintech, e-commerce, health tech, and the transformative potential of artificial intelligence.
