Disrupt Africa has partnered Omnibiz and MarketForce to put together a four-part podcast series on the African e-commerce and retail-tech space - where it has come from, where it is now, and where it is going.
 
Episode one looks at the challenges and opportunities presented by the sector, with weekly episodes to follow. The three subsequent episodes, to be released each week, discuss how there has been a move away from efforts to achieve a consumer-facing Amazon for Africa, with entrepreneurs instead favouring B2B e-commerce; address the funding landscape; and look to the future, with partners sharing their predictions.
