Abstract

The global economy is in a constant state of dynamism, driven in contemporary times by the emergent digital transformation.  The development has embraced a paradigm shift in innovation practices, driven in large part by digital technologies. The prospects of digital transformation on the global economy are enormous, with the potential to add US$1.36 trillion to global economic output between 2015 and 2020. Accenture Strategies and Oxford Economics (2016) reveal that GDP growth rates in advanced economies would increase by 0.25% and by 0.5% in emerging market economies by 2020. Africa is embracing the digital revolution, driven in large part by mobile technology, which has helped to transform lives across the continent.  Indeed, by 2016, 22% of the region’s population had access to the internet.  Projections reveal that if internet access approaches the same level as mobile phones, Africa’s GDP could increase by US$300 billion by 2025.
