In this episode of the Frontier Markets Podcast, we have a conversation with Alpha Barry. Alpha is the founder of a new city building company called Temple Cities, which is currently advancing phase one of its flagship project in Nigeria. You can read the announcement here. In this episode, we discuss:
- The importance of industrialisation for economic growth and unlocking regional economies within Africa
- The full stack investment approach that enables the creation and growth of economic ecosystems - and how this differs from otherwise fragmented approaches to interacting with nascent markets.
- Long/short theses on nations like Nigeria, Guinea, and more.
- Elite theory, elite coordination.
- Mining, sovereign wealth funds, and philosophies of capital reallocation.
- Urbanisation in Africa.
- Next generation industrialists on the African continent.
Alpha is working on a truly exciting and generationally important set of ventures. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
