电商Jumia有望成为非洲的阿里巴巴
E-commerce Jumia Expects to Become Africa's Alibaba
据《华尔街日报》报道，高盛集团等知名投资机构在搜寻非洲科技独角兽的过程中发现，尽管目标稀缺，但Jumia可谓潜力巨大，有望成为非洲大陆的阿里巴巴。
According to the Wall Street Journal , on safari for the rare African tech unicorn, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and other big-name investors think they have spotted a winner in Jumia, the continent's aspiring Alibaba.
这家获德国初创基金Rocket Internet SE支持的电商2012年创立于尼日利亚，目前是非洲最大电商平台，向数以百万计的非洲人销售商品和服务。
The online retailer, which launched in 2012 in Nigeria with the backing of German startup fund Rocket Internet SE, is Africa’s biggest e-commerce platform selling goods and services to millions of customers.
Jumia已获包括国际电信运营商在内众多投资者逾7亿美元投资，在2016年的上一个融资轮中，公司估值达12亿美元。
It has raised more than $700 million from investors, including global telecom operators and was valued at $1.2 billion—qualifying as a so-called unicorn—during its last fundraising round in 2016.
Jumia的足迹已从四个国家拓展至14个国家。去年，公司总销售额达5.07亿欧元（合6.827亿美元），同比增长42%。Jumia的供货商网络覆盖面广阔，从南非开普敦直到摩洛哥卡萨布兰卡，其在线平台上有多达七万个商家提供各种商品和服务。

Just 0.5% of all retail on the continent takes place online, according to Boston Consulting Group research, compared with about 15% in China—home to Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, and 5% in India. But companies like Jumia are changing the economic landscape for many African entrepreneurs.
