Absa's Pan-African ambition raises a question about where the bank's next ideas, products and leaders will come from.

From a shopping mall's shared infrastructure to the cultural reach of Afrobeats, he explains how learning across African markets, understanding a young population and attracting creative talent could help African teams build for global audiences.
