Video: Outsourcing for change

If you're new here and like what you read, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or my email alerts. Thanks for visiting!

One of the best conversations I had at SXSW was on the topic of outsourcing. While Asia - and India specifically - is known for having a strong history in outsourcing, Africa is quickly ramping up it’s ability to compete with and often times supplement Asian outsourcing. While there have been talk of Africa becoming the next Asia in terms of global business/investor focus, the continent still has some heavy issues to resolve before it can truly realize it’s potential. But, of course that will never stop entrepreneurs from doing their part. Watch this creative video below from a new Sillicon Valley-based venture called Market for Change.

Market for Change aims to catalyze economic development by creating a market for responsible outsourcing to small and medium-sized firms in developing countries.

  1. This is long overdue…the outsourcing market is hot, and thanks to people like Tim Ferriss and other Internet entrepreneurs it’s only getting hotter. I think now is definitely the time for the bright minds of Africa to step up.
