Our thinking

For 500 years, the port of Sofala was the gateway between Africa and the world. 

The oldest and largest of the trading centres on the Swahili coast – with links to the Middle East and Asia – Sofala connects the story of African entrepreneurship from its origin to the present day, in which Africa has emerged as the world's fastest-growing continent.
