   https://marketplayers.africa/At Market Players, we are.\"Building the next generation of world class African entrepreneursOf the world’s $100 trillion economy, Africa owns less than 3%. In theory, this might sound like yet another statistic, but on the ground the magnitude of this economic disparity is suffered by over 400 million Africans living on less $2 per day.At Market Players, we believe that entrepreneurship is the most practical, timeous, and measurable solution to breaking Africa’s vicious cycle of poverty. Entrepreneurship creates and circulates factor income at a high and faster rate because it stimulates economic activity and increases the continent’s tax base in real time.Using a strengths-based approach, we partner with international development agencies, academia, non-profits, private corporations and governments to build the next generation of globally competitive African entrepreneurs.
