Technology and digital markets are developing rapidly across Africa, alongside evolving approaches to data protection, digital taxation, competition, platform regulation and digital policy. Regulatory approaches vary considerably between markets, creating different political and operating environments for companies, investors and institutions.

How we work in this sector
We analyse how digital policy and regulation are developing across markets and the political and institutional factors shaping them. Our work can cover data governance, taxation, platform regulation, digital public policy and other issues relevant to a client's operations or strategy.
What clients gain
A clearer understanding of emerging regulatory and policy developments, their likely direction and the implications for products, operations, market strategy or programmes.
Who tends to need this
Investors assessing regulatory exposure ahead of a technology investment. Platforms navigating data protection and taxation across multiple jurisdictions. Development institutions backing digital inclusion programmes that need to track where policy is heading.
