Female Entrepreneur and Investment Expert Amne Suedi shares how some sectors have more potential to attract FDI in Africa in recent times.

The African continent is slowly transitioning from receiving deficits and grants to being one of the biggest investment opportunities. While all sectors have witnessed reasonable growth – technology, health and FMCG sectors have the greatest potential to attract FDI in Africa in the future.

Amne Suedi, a legal practitioner and lawyer, with over a decade of experience in investment advisory ‘Shikana Group’ shares her insights. She advises foreign investors on the best solutions that are workable and compliant with the African markets they want to enter into, or are already operating in. She started the business as a way to showcase the different sides of Africa and to ensure that investments really do make an impact. Today, Amne helps foreign investors, international organizations, multinational companies, and even SMEs to invest in Africa. Amne is also set to launch a new jewelry and gemstone business ‘Zambarau’ soon.

As an investment expert, Amne has a wealth of knowledge related to the current market trends and potential investment opportunities. She discusses how certain sectors in Africa are sparking particular interest among investors.

Booming Tech Sector In A Digitized Continent

We have all been aware of COVID-19 and its effects on the world. Amidst the pandemic, we have all seen a rise in technology. Amne suggests, especially in the legal area, we’ve seen increasing adoption of technology. Law firms in Nigeria and other parts of the continent were already steering this way, but there has been a full-scale adoption of technology, not only with the firms, but also with the courts.

Africa has already been witnessing a surge in technology-related investments. This has been a burgeoning tech trend in Nigeria, Kenya, Cape Town and across South Africa. Technology is an exciting space that includes many industries – from artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, self-driving technologies, smartphones, the ongoing trend to software-as-a-service (SaaS), the Internet of Things (IoT), streaming media services, automobiles, and more. It’s a sector full of investment opportunities as Africa continues to grow on the path to digitization, shares Amne.

More Investment Opportunities

As Amne works with numerous foreign investors on a daily basis, she has observed that deals around infrastructure also continue to attract investments in Africa. Telecom infrastructure, of course, is the backbone of Africa, but even hard infrastructure, like roads, railways, power and electricity are potential investment gold mines! Renewable energy, solar power and gas remain interesting as much of the world relies on Africa for these. Her company, Shikana Group, is also planning to invest in some African business opportunities and the technology education space.

Two other sectors where Amne would like to see more investment, and she suggests would do well in these COVID times, are health and agriculture. Needless to say, the pandemic has led to a growing need for all kinds of healthcare supplies. Then, of course, there is FMCG. Pandemic or not, FMCG products are a necessity, so Amne thinks investments in the food and agricultural sector continue to remain attractive to global investors.

TrueData Solutions LLC Founder Del Andujar Responds to Europe’s Growing Digital Privacy Concerns

mm

Published

on

For years, internet privacy discussions centered around targeted advertising, browser tracking, and social media data collection. But a new debate is beginning to reshape the cybersecurity industry entirely: identity verification laws.

Across Europe, governments and digital platforms are increasingly introducing systems that require users to verify their identity or age before accessing certain online services. Supporters argue these systems improve online safety and accountability. Critics argue they may also normalize a future where anonymity online becomes increasingly difficult.

That tension is now creating new opportunities — and new responsibilities — for cybersecurity and privacy companies worldwide.

Among the firms responding to this shift is TrueData Solutions LLC, a Wyoming-based cybersecurity company founded in 2025 by Del Andujar. The company recently announced plans to expand infrastructure and operations into Europe as digital privacy concerns continue growing throughout the region.

The expansion arrives during a particularly sensitive moment in global technology policy.

Recent discussions surrounding European age verification systems have raised broader questions about how personal identification data will be stored, protected, and potentially shared. Privacy advocates have warned that even well-intentioned verification systems can create centralized repositories of sensitive personal information that may become vulnerable to misuse or breaches.

According to reporting from Tech Policy Press, experts have increasingly expressed concern that identity verification requirements may carry privacy implications extending beyond basic data confidentiality.

For privacy-focused companies, the issue reflects a major transformation in how consumers view digital safety.

Historically, many users treated online privacy as secondary to convenience. But growing awareness around data breaches, identity theft, and public data exposure has changed public perception significantly over the last decade.

TrueData’s business model directly addresses those concerns.

The company allows individuals to search for publicly leaked information connected to themselves and assists users in opting out from data broker platforms that collect and distribute personal details online. Unlike many competitors within the cybersecurity industry, TrueData offers its primary opt-out assistance services free of charge.

That approach has become central to the company’s identity.

While many privacy services operate behind subscription paywalls, TrueData positions accessibility as part of its broader mission to help individuals regain control over their digital footprint regardless of financial barriers.

The company also provides secondary cybersecurity services such as virtual private networks designed to improve browsing security and network privacy.

As Europe continues debating digital identity enforcement policies, cybersecurity providers may increasingly become intermediaries between governments, platforms, and consumers attempting to protect their information online.

Industry observers believe the broader privacy economy could expand dramatically over the next several years as identity-linked internet systems become more common globally.

In that environment, companies focused on transparency and user trust may gain a competitive advantage over firms relying heavily on aggressive monetization strategies or opaque data practices.

For founder Del Andujar, the issue extends beyond cybersecurity trends alone. It reflects a deeper concern about whether ordinary internet users will retain meaningful control over how their information is collected, indexed, and distributed online.

As digital identity increasingly becomes tied to daily internet access, that question may soon affect nearly every user online — not just cybersecurity professionals.
