- Watch the interview with Lionel Zinsou
Excerpts:
Lionel Zinsou: “People think that smartphones are useless for people who can’t read or write. But everyone was surprised by the digital revolution in Africa. The fact is that today, these people represent nearly half of all phone sales. In Africa, innovation is not disruptive because in many sectors there is nothing to disrupt.”
Carlos Tavares: “This means that Africa will not go through the same stages as the Western world. We will have to take some shortcuts. Thanks to technology, it is possible to access mobility without being an owner. Our strategy therefore needs to evolve: it is no longer just a question of providing cars, but of providing accessible mobility solutions. This concerns not only the mobility device, but also the infrastructure.”
This will be followed by further discussions on the other mega trends: Digital Transformation, Sharing, Connectivity and Autonomy.
