  Africa and the Digital « Leapfrog »
  The world is entering the digital era. What does this mean for Africa ?
  The conclusion is clear. With strong growth in mobile phone access, the gradual roll-out of broadband and myriad new startups, African innovation is moving full steam ahead with new uses and disruptive everyday solutions.
  In this book, Jean-Michel Huet presents five digital advances allowing Africa to skip development stages and get ready to overtake other continents.
  The five digital jumps, also known as « leapfrogs », encompass the whole of the African economy, from telecoms to mobile financial services, e-commerce, e-government and the collaborative platform economy.
  With interviews and case studies, Africa and the Digital « Leapfrog » reveals a modern Africa that is - at times - ahead of the rest of the world.
