Why Africa
Africa has experienced unprecedented growth over the last 20 years and is widely known to house the fastest growing economies in the world.
Why Africa
Unprecedented growth
According to Overseas private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and UNCTAD Africa offers the highest return on foreign direct investment. But, her growth is curtailed by capital and liquidity issues. NViS aims to bridge the funding gaps through the creation of innovative investments strategies that will in turn effect and shape the future and continued growth of the continent.

Benefits of African Investment
Africa offers the highest return on foreign direct investment in the world, according to the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and UNCTAD. But, there are also many unique risks faced by those that invest in Africa. From civil wars to political risk, companies face a number of hurdles competing in the region’s promising economies.
Natural Resources: Africa has an enormous amount of natural resources, ranging from oil and diamonds to gold and uranium.
Many of these natural resources remain untapped due to a low human density along with a lack of infrastructure and financing.
Large Population: Africa’s population represents approximately 14.72% of the world’s total population with about a billion inhabitants in more than 60 territories.
It creates a huge opportunity for consumer goods, such as telecommunications and banking.
Relatively Undeveloped: Africa remains relatively undeveloped with per capita income that lags the rest of the world. It means that there may be an enormous opportunity for growth in the future as its population grows and becomes more wealthy.
