Africa, currently looking like a place where the world isn't interested in. In fact, Africa has become the world charity center where every country want to give money to although these gestures often have ulterior motives such as stealing the continents natural resources, destroying the continent more so as not to grow up to the western countries, while making it look like they are doing the continent a favor. It is no lies that the continent's GDP is not up to the GDP of the United States of America and its foreign reserve isn't up to that of China, there is a possibility that a few countries in Africa could become the China of tomorrow, posing threats on civilized country as they will be growing in economy as well as in population.

There are a few countries that can become Africa's tech hub as well as economic power in the future, countries such as Kenya, Ghana, Somalia, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, DR Congo, and Nigeria but then will it be possible considering the way Africa is moving about it?
First for African countries to become the Hub of the world, Corruption need to get out of the picture. Corruption cannot be completely wiped out of a nation but it can be reduced drastically If public funds are made public instead of embezzling it for their children unborn, then we are starting to have a better Africa.
Increase production level in African countries. Africa is more of an importing continent to an exporting continent. For a country to be economically big, it needs to be producing something but so many African countries do not even have a refinery to refine their crude oil so as to export petroleum products rather they export the crude and import petroleum products. Other things like Agriculture, Tourism, Transportation and Tech should be looked into. A country with tech is a country with growth, a country with natural resource, is a country for investors.
Indigenous companies should be supported. Africa do not have a company that is known worldwide unlike Apple, General Motors, Volkswagen, Tesla, Microsoft, Walmart, Amazon, P&G, Alibaba, Ford, Nestle and so on, rather, they use products from this countries' companies When Africa start to embrace creation of companies and also support companies to grow, then a country in Africa could compete the US, China, or any other first world country.
Africa currently isn't a world hub, but do you think it can be in the future, and what could be done to make it a hub for the world?
Lacking in infrastructure can be an advantage in that Africa can start with modern technology. For example, it was easier for mobile phones to become widespread rather than landlines. It is similar to what happened with Japan after World War 2. Their factories and production were destroyed. They had to rebuild and start with new factories, which turned to their advantage in the years to come. Similarly, Africa has the potential to start fresh without legacy technology holding the continent back.
Having said that, there are likely other reasons why this advantage has not produced results. It definitely requires tremendous investment and knowledge to start building.
I am interested in the work that Cardano is doing to provide identity and crypto solutions. In this case, Africa may very well lead the world in adopting blockchain solutions.

To achieve this, there is a long way to go and much work to be done, the restructuring of Africa would be complete and complex, but nothing is impossible.
