Overview of Process

Having had the benefit of a keynote presentation by Mani James from Frost & Sullivan, and

commentary and presentations from other stakeholders including Esa Rantanen from Finpro, Petri

Allekotte from Aalto University, Jari Tammisto from Mobile Monday , Aki Koivistoinen from Dazzle Oy,

Aapo Aittola from mfore, and Jussi Hirkkanen from Fuzu Oy, delegates had a substantive overview

of the opportunities open to them in Africa, and the challenges and requirements to access such

potential growth areas.

Participants were then divided into working groups along the nature of the themes identified.

Each group had a facilitator from one of Tekes, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Frost & Sullivan to

support it.

In the workshop process, the first part was focused on identification and validation of the

opportunities each working group saw as important. This was supported by a structured approach

that asked them to answer the following questions:

What are the growth opportunities for your sector / theme ? Product or service ?

Where are the growth hotspots in SSA ? Cities, countries and regions ?

When do you expect these growth opportunities to come on stream ? Short, medium and long

term?

Why do you consider SSA as the next big opportunity?

Overview of Process (cont.)

In the second part of the workshop process, each working group was asked the question on how

they would address such opportunities. For this, they were guided by certain questions:

How will you proceed to tackle the opportunities highlighted in the previous section ?

Quick wins ? – What are the key next steps ?

What are the requirements of a successful market entry or service impact ?

Can NGOs and Private Sector support each other?

List the support that would be required from the Government ?

The final step in the process was for each group to present back to the forum its key findings and

recommendations.

This document contains the summary of each of these working group’s results, and our summary

of key common findings and issues highlighted , with recommendations as appropriate.

Urbanisation

What Does this include ? Food; Educational (Practical/Vocational); Water; Internet (IoT); Sanitation;

Planning Services; Infrastructure; Safety; Transport/Logistics; Mobility; Waste recycling; Packaging;

Electricity; Information Services; Cloud Services; etc

Where? Formal market; The Finnish Advantage is being a small country with powerful neighbours; Not

following others (because of financial resource issues); 5 Countries prioritised; Nigeria; Kenya; Horn of

Africa (all countries); Use on the ground partnership processes

How? Working with NGOs on the ground; Local partnerships; Local networks of people from Africa in

Finland; Local presence; Remove hesitation in terms of Finnish companies; Working closely with

Government & TEAM Finland; Educating stakeholders (government and private); Develop Products

locally; Utilise Students from Africa

Support: (1) too fragmented re information; (2) Provide Aid given directly to NGO/SME; (3)

Coordinated Effort from Agencies; (4) Embassy Support to be focused (5) Event to promote Finish

businesses; (6) It is difficult dealing with bureaucracy and governments particularly in the early stages

6

Page 7: Business with Impact – BEAM Summary Report of Future Watch Session, Team Finland Future Watch Report, September 2014

Urbanization: Water & Wastewater

Opportunity is Huge across all timeframes

Competitive Positioning: Finland’s USP in niche areas

Measuring & Monitoring + Mobile Solutions

Sludge Processing (energy solutions)

Other solutions for Sanitation

Key Success Factors:

Find key Partners:

Find Local players in Africa with influence and co-creation is essential

Work alongside Swedish & Danish organisations as well: new models of co-operation

needed

Finance : if BEAM were to support local NGO’s this would make the program fly

Finance is a key issue: this has to be fully researched

Cooperation Platforms to support such processes are critical

Page 8: Business with Impact – BEAM Summary Report of Future Watch Session, Team Finland Future Watch Report, September 2014

Mobile Africa

What to focus on was identified as health, payments (e.g. prepaid), education, governance, and

security applications. Identification of Urban & Countryside segments

It would be wise to start from the most accessible markets (e.g. Kenya, Tanzania) driven by

English language skills, addressability, etc. The opportunity was viewed as immediate.

The driver was a great potential waiting to be exploited e.g. under 25’s forming the majority of the

population, the need for learning and entertainment applications (upcoming) and huge educational

demands for girls.

How to access the market would be via creation of an ecosystem and value chains, both in

Finland & Africa, and in co-creation & open-source being used as tools

The Next Steps were : create living pilots for references and further development, scaling and

roadmap for next locations with a key requirement to have paying customers as the end users.

Recommendations: (1) At a societal level create organised industrial groups , and (2) separately

Company & Consortium value chains, and ecosystems case by case . (3) Get financing for

ecosystem business model and product development and (4) do targeted market surveys for

Solutions and (5) Partnership facilitation & Funding plus also (6) Connect to international

organisations (e.g. UNESCO) and to local authorities & Decision Makers.

Africa (Collabo)rising

1. Market demand; Africa is a continent full of opportunities - Demand for business from large

infrastructure projects to co-creation within the BoP context

2. Timing; The right time is now (or it was already yesterday as all other players are already there)

3. Business with impact is business and technology with economic, social and environmental

relevance and aspects included

4. Financing; Financing for innovations and patents very important

5. The model of co-creation and piloting to be supported financially

6. Local partnership involvement throughout the processes

In addition, some case studies and concrete examples were presented.

Page 10: Business with Impact – BEAM Summary Report of Future Watch Session, Team Finland Future Watch Report, September 2014

Africa (Collabo)rising (2)

Growth opportunities: More could be done in the field of agricultural foodchains in Africa

(distribution channels need solutions); Safe living environment and the need for holistic approach;

how to create new services (franchise) in the field of capacity building (like the knowledge of

cooperatives in Finland) and find opportunities to bring good Finnish know how to local markets;

waste management; craft and design; ICT and empowerment of women; Space for Africa (AU

context).

How to tackle opportunities: Important to know well the local needs; co-creation approach and

multi-stakeholder approach is beneficial in the situations where we need to know more about the

needs e.g. safe living environment as a theme; and what kind of inputs are needed. It is important to

know the value chain and how to transform aid into trade so that it is beneficial. The question of

social enterprises was raised. There are e.g. Dutch and American social enterprises in Africa. In

different countries the legislations vary as to the social enterprises.

Support needed: Support networking ( need to spread information of already existing TF-

services) ; flexible co-funding needed ; clear financing schemes to help with the platform for

Diaspora Africans and enterprises.

Health and Well being

Opportunities: virtual training; M-health, especially for remote areas, but also for urban areas; Health

prevention; Diagnostic services or training; Train the trainer e.g. in laboratory sector, health sector

vocational. Identify USP e.g. Health Spa Movement

Targets: Mega cities are the first target as for many applications internet connection is required, sms

applications exist for health solutions. Target countries: Ethiopia, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Tanzania,

Uganda. Burundi in general as president is pro-technology.

Growth opportunities are short and medium term

How to tackle the Opportunities:

Finding a local partner is the key: Sales partner/ distributor who knows the local operating environment.

This kind of cooperation partner could bring access to the required local network

Public/private hospital (depends on the local health care system)

Insurance companies (depends on the local social security system)

Local NGO

11

Health and Well being (cont.)

Quick Wins/Next Steps: there was a question raised from the small size of this group: which means that

there should be more awareness creation about the market opportunities and BEAM within the sector.

This should include clustering and networking with Finnish and Nordic companies & organizations

• Requirements for successful market entry: Local NGO might be a good partner in order to get to

the grassroots level. It can be challenging to get nurses to test a solution/application, as they have

hands full and it is not part of their job. Informal channels can be beneficial.

• Support required from the Government:

Company clustering, company activation. Listing Finnish expertise and presenting it on different

markets to find out where is interest.

Financial path (help in understanding the funding opportunities and how to get it)

Instruments suitable for SME’s and start-ups that cannot fund the activity first and only get

subsidy afterwards.

Self-funding requirement (often 50%) is also a problem for many companies.

Local network.

12

Page 13: Business with Impact – BEAM Summary Report of Future Watch Session, Team Finland Future Watch Report, September 2014

Energy

Opportunity: everywhere

Growth opportunities: solutions for big cities renewables as well as efficient fossil use, smart grid

issues

Renewable energy: small scale off grid solutions in bioenergy, solar and small scale wind,

controlling systems how to use these in most efficient way, renewable energy for telecom towers

Waste to Energy: waste management, biodiesel and bioethanol from industrial waste

The market is available now

There are no quick wins just good luck and right timing

New Business Models Key

Find right partners which you can trust

Active networking, do together

Finance Structure Important, financing not only for innovatiuons but also for demos and first

commercial operations

Information, also silent signals from the market

Follow up

Be flexible

Education (Group 1)

Key Areas to focus on : Curriculum Development ;Training of Trainers; Human Rights; Learning

Methods

Why: Quality of education is an issue; promoting of education increasing; Access to education a

challenge; Learning from each other an important part of the process; and a different level-

systemic mapping: assessing the needs

Gather the Expertise in Finland: Learning by doing; Competence based learning; Curriculum

design; Educational structures; Training of the trainers

Opportunities Identified: Vocational Education; Teacher training; School equipment; Post-

conflict areas ; E-learning & Virtual learning

How to tackle: (1) International actors; (2) Locate Funding; (3) How to create the School System:

(4) need to know who has been doing what from Finland to Africa; (5) Integrating development

work and business to work together; (6) This can be coordinated by BEAM ; (7) Concern on how

to make this work financially.

14

Page 15: Business with Impact – BEAM Summary Report of Future Watch Session, Team Finland Future Watch Report, September 2014

Education (Group 1) (cont.)

The opportunity: demand exists right now across Africa, especially young population in fast growing

nations, both long-term and short-term perspectives. For improving the education system, structural

changes at different levels needed, but there is plenty of room for market-led solutions. Education for

what though? For example energy, food security, urbanisation, water, infrastructure, ICT, so linked to

and intertwined with other priorities. Huge need for vocational training, not necessarily university-level

education: schooling fails to meet industry needs - curriculums need to be redesigned, apprenticeship

training, cooperation with businesses, mentoring etc. TVET being expanded in many countries, but

providers need to be capacitated to perform better – financing and expertise, teacher training needed.

Delivery of education / learning: eLearning / mLearning / edutech as an opportunity - utilising Finnish

expertise in novel ways

Economic development takes place in cities, but cannot forget needs of rural areas and need for quality

education there – high quality, accessible and low cost?

Also: crisis areas, post-conflict and fragile states need attention, children out of school, humanitarian aid

does not meet educational needs, especially primary education! Monetising education is not easy – in

Finland the private sector has a limited role. So partnering with locals, including NGOs crucial, diaspora

Needed: review of lessons learned; platforms for connecting / clustering different actors together;

partnership-building; Seed funding for innovation; Co-creation and pilots; PR and promotion; Does not

need to be a perfect concept, but good enough

15

Page 16: Business with Impact – BEAM Summary Report of Future Watch Session, Team Finland Future Watch Report, September 2014

Education (Group 2) Growth opportunities: Young and aspirational population – average age around 18; Potentially 300

Million unskilled and undereducated people entering adulthood over the coming decade – we need

to act now. The need for context sensitive vocational education is growing rapidly as increased

investments and urbanization accelerate formalization of the economy. Finnish vocational education

system has great traditions and reputation. Finnish players are agile and able to form working

collaboration frameworks across multiple players.

Opportunity areas 1. consultation, 2. pedagogic reforms, 3. educational content and certification, 4.

content and learning platforms, 5. life long learning

Growth hotspots: Following criteria should be used for selecting markets: Existing Finnish

networks and partnerships on the ground; Maturity of the market; Match with Finnish skills and

capabilities. Based on these criteria, following countries/areas are suggested: East Africa (Kenya,

Ethiopia, Tanzania, Zambia, Uganda, Rwanda); West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria); Southern Africa (South

Africa, Mozambique, Botswana, Namibia)

Why SSA as the next big opportunity? SSA is moving into right direction and that market is

becoming mature enough for business interventions; Socio-economic indicators (population growth,

etc.) demonstrate that there is great urgency in fixing the education to employment challenge; SSA is

one of the last global regions where large scale formalization of the economy will take place over the

coming decades; Finland has a great reputation in Africa and as a neutral player possibility to win its

competitors.

16

Page 17: Business with Impact – BEAM Summary Report of Future Watch Session, Team Finland Future Watch Report, September 2014

Education (Group 2) (cont.)

How to tackle the opportunities: More on the ground research is required about the needs, right

operating models, sell-in channels (i.e. who are the customers and how we will reach them); We need to

form highly efficient teams of companies, NGO’s, academia, etc. to both conduct research as well as to

initiate piloting of concepts and collaboration models; Companies need to think big and be ready to take

risks

Quick wins: Rapid launch of a private sector led vocational education cluster that brings on board hand

picked specialists to build a ‘test case’. Initial focus on private education (pricing and speed applicable to

the context) that integrates content developers, pedagogic and institutional expertise, digital delivery

platforms, etc. Reason for initial focus on private education is to rapidly build with a working prototype

that highlights the benefits of the Finnish model. The proven model can then be deployed to public

education system as well.

Successful market entry: Market entry requires excellent understanding of the target markets and of

ways to conduct go-to-market campaigns. Companies need to be able to build brand awareness through

traditional marketing, digital channels and through viral communication. Players need to effectively utilize

contact networks, such as NGO outreach. NGO’s and Private companies can definitely co-operate but

roles need to be defined clearly

17

Page 18: Business with Impact – BEAM Summary Report of Future Watch Session, Team Finland Future Watch Report, September 2014

Education (Group 2) (cont.)

Support Required: Make it possible to sell and commercialize vocational education; Align efforts

focusing on education export efforts; Facilitate building of partnerships between different stakeholders;

Build a funding program (BEAM?) that supports both R&D and piloting efforts of individual players as well

as consortia. Get BEAM operationalized rapidly.

Adding Higher Local Value

• Growth opportunities: are HUGE.

Increasing valued addition and creating jobs locally are priorities in most African countries.

Countries see that their raw materials are exported with little value addition taking place and then

imported at much higher prices with value addition taking place somewhere else.

There is visible and strong political support (e.g. industrialization strategies) from governments to

"move up the value addition ladder", but that support might not be there due to vested interest.

By Africans for Africans is one of the current mega trends. Nevertheless, there is still room for

Finnish expertise if it adds value to local processes and local capacity does not exist.

Finns are good at organizing processes, adopting a structured approach that could be a key selling

point for Finland.

Value additions services – at different entry points along the value chain – is also something that

Finland is good at.

• What are the next hotspots: Countries with relative stability are well positioned to take the next step

from a commodities based economy into higher value addition. Finland should be selective – and not

spread itself too thinly. The largest growth centers are not necessarily the most appropriate – with

less obvious mid-size centres also attractive. The key is to build on contacts/links e.g. from

development cooperation, diaspora, student exchanges etc. Good local partners is important.

19

Page 20: Business with Impact – BEAM Summary Report of Future Watch Session, Team Finland Future Watch Report, September 2014

Adding Higher Local Value (cont.)

• Timeline: Now/ yesterday in more developed/stable countries

• Next Steps: A Finnish SME is too small "to go it alone". However, a Finnish multinational that is

already present in Africa could take the lead in engaging Finnish SMEs into value addition locally, e.g.

in the mining sector. But it is difficult to convince them. The challenge is that MNC have no particular

interest in working with Finnish SMEs – and unless there is a clear profit motive, they would probably

not be interested in taking the lead.

• The good news is that the lead does not have to be MNC – but could an institution, smaller company

or other organization – that would take the lead bring together required partners locally in SSA and in

Finland. Could BEAM be that institution? Probably not as it does not have the personnel capacity, but

it could play a role in financing such as consortia.

• Role of government: Funding, info, contacts, facilitation etc. are useful. Development cooperation

has created many useful contacts / platforms etc that could be leveraged. Embassies are a good

starting point. Many foreign embassies in Finland are keen and to help potential investors gain

access to their markets.

• Key Message: Get on the plane and go to the market. Finns often plan too long. In SSA it is crucial

to have a presence locally- emails etc. are not a substitute. BEAM should not spread itself too thinly

but have a selective, structured approach, so that it can make a real difference.

20

Page 21: Business with Impact – BEAM Summary Report of Future Watch Session, Team Finland Future Watch Report, September 2014

Financial Services

Growth Opportunities: There is sufficient micro-finance and mainstream funding: it is medium

sized finance that is missing, and Collateral guarantees are missing (ref. AfDB)

Trust is important: data, documentation; contracts

We need to fund innovative projects; Public (soft) finance is targeted at SMEs (loan registry)

IFI provides loans to local commercial bank (first loss guarantee); Do we finance shareholder

value or shared values? The Stock exchange will integrate investors and investees; Diaspora

funding is important –investment in land is a consequence of no trust; Do Finnish players have

fundable projects?

Valuation of Property Critical : including the informal economy

Interbank electronic payments don’t work; although m-banking does

Growth Hotspots

Global-not SSA; International Initiatives; Housing investment used as collateral; Collaboration

with Chinese Money; Shared Value; Franchising Funding Needed; PE funds already working in

Africa; Diaspora Bonds; and Stock Exchanges interesting areas to look at.

Summary Overview of Workshop Process

Summary Findings of Working Groups

Summary of Key Collective Findings & Recommendations

Last Word: Personal Commentary from Mani James

22

Page 23: Business with Impact – BEAM Summary Report of Future Watch Session, Team Finland Future Watch Report, September 2014

Summary of Findings

All Groups Identified that there was clear opportunity in Africa, driven by the obvious socio-economic

drivers identified earlier in the workshop process.

Most Groups identified specific sub-sector/segment areas as necessary to focus, aligned with specific

geographic market focus. This approach has to tie in with identified areas of strength of Finland.

In terms of market entry , building the correct eco-system, networks and understanding the

appropriate value chains were seen as critical drivers to success.

Planning & Partnering Processes seen as key: particularly with players in situ in Africa: and

particularly with all key stakeholders, public and private, as well as between Finnish private, public

and NGO bodies.

Risk analysis factored in various group analysis processes, from political uncertainty, trust in viability

of financial transactions, exaggerated forms of support, and finance availability.

In terms of enabling success, clarity of purpose and coordination of government support programs

seen as important, both as facilitators, and as supporters of finance availability, trading guarantees,

etc. Need to increase use of current resources (Embassies et al) and have leading consortia be built.

Attitudinally, there has to be a positive encouragement to risk taking: there has to be a willingness to

get on the plane to Africa and build a platform for growth.

23

Page 24: Business with Impact – BEAM Summary Report of Future Watch Session, Team Finland Future Watch Report, September 2014

Recommendations : Actions Suggested

That a clear process of prioritisation of country markets is deployed. This will drive different

country group targets per sector or thematic areas. This should include all factors of market

opportunity analysis. Market insight & evidence needed to support.

One of the key factors in the prioritisation process is Risk Analysis for the countries reviewed.

This could be an important central role for coordinating agency undertake e.g. BEAM of MFA

Post these processes a refined go-to-market strategy should be developed.

Suitable platforms of co-operation have to be built and maintained to enable partnering processes

to take place. This should include partnering within Finland (sector/cluster/thematic ), within

Nordic region (as appropriate to sector/theme) and with local partners in Africa. This should

incorporate inclusion of NGOs. The build of supporting networking, information sharing and eco-

system development between private, public and NGO stakeholders is seen as critical.

It should be clear which program or agency is leading such processes: many felt BEAM to be

the suitable program. Also increase role and function of Embassies in support of the process.

Support in making sure that a clear process is mapped out, and all appropriate tools and

techniques are provided to sector/thematic groups, should be a core function of the supporting

agency.

BEAM or other stakeholders should action these recommendations .

Last Word: A Personal Commentary from Mani James The participants eagerly engaged in the conference. Given the number of questions that I had

received and the comments that came from a number of participants at the conference, my perception is that Finnish companies are looking for “genuine long term ” growth opportunities in Africa.

I say genuine because of the perception amongst Finnish companies about risk of doing business in Africa. They have had their share of success and failures. It was interesting to note how one participant pointed out to the example of Chinese companies. He mentioned that there are over 20,000 Chinese companies that are operating in Africa. He also mentioned that over 80,000 Chinese companies have failed in this space as well.

It was very difficult to gauge the risk taking appetite of the Finnish companies during the conference. There hasn’t been a large number of Finnish entities making successful market entries in Africa. It occurred to me that perhaps the Finnish companies didn’t feel confident enough about the ability to derive the return on investment in a continent like Africa. Coupled with the fact that corruption is quite a common occurrence in Africa, could have also discouraged them.

My understanding of the issues at hand from Finnih enterprises perspective can be summed as :

Do not have a clear understanding of the market potential of their products and end customers

Their perceptions of the levels of corruption and uncertainty on the countries in Africa are high

A big desire to identify the right partners, supply chain and logistics pertaining to each country and region

They were not exactly clear about the return on investment on such investments in Africa

Limited understanding of the risks of doing business with the various countries in Africa to an extent limited their decision making abilities

26

Page 27: Business with Impact – BEAM Summary Report of Future Watch Session, Team Finland Future Watch Report, September 2014

Last Word: A Personal Commentary from Mani James

What level or extent of government to government level support was available to them wasn’t

very clear

The Finnish SME sector certainly does seem to be very excited about their prospects, as they

seem to realise that they could penetrate these markets quite effectively in a shorter time frame

Why I genuinely think Finnish enterprises should go for this:

The Finnish companies are wanting to expand their business into emerging markets such as

Africa. Given their intention to expand their horizon, I do believe that Africa offers them with a

vibrant opportunity.

Africa has always known to embrace innovation and has the ability to adopt to newer

technologies. By harnessing the product innovation expertise of Finnish companies, I genuinely

feel that they will have a competitive edge in Africa

By identifying and working with mutually beneficial partner companies, Finnish companies can

start to penetrate the African markets in a more meaningful way.

As I mentioned during the conference, “Africa is not for the or faint hearted and it is not for the

short haul “. By developing a long term growth strategy which includes finding the suitable

market entry option, Africa could well prove right to be a major growth frontier for Finnish

companies.
