Where should a business school open its first Africa campus?
Business memo · Feb 2026
Recommendation: Morocco as the primary campus, Algeria as the second, with South Africa worth exploring later.
The prompt
Scenario: you run a mid-sized university offering English-language MBA courses to students worldwide, and you're following NYU's global-campus playbook (New York, Abu Dhabi, Shanghai) into Africa. Using only three lenses — demographics, GDP, and ease of starting a business — recommend the African country (or countries) to open a branch campus in first.
