Victoria Manya, The African Start-up Ecosystem: funding, informality and the trajectories of maturity

Victoria Manya’s research project employs an investigation into the intersecting impact of funding motivations, informality and gender-inclusive considerations on the growth and maturity trajectories of technology-enabled start-up ecosystems in Africa. Locating this discussion within Nigeria and Ghana, Victoria seeks to comparatively explore the self-organising nature of technology-enabled ecosystems within the digital economy in Africa.
