Client projects in Africa

We consult your company regarding your go-to-market strategy and create value by analyzing and assessing African markets, delivering market entry strategies and introducing you to potential partners, projects and investors.

Moreover, we implement projects on the ground and handle business development in selected countries until your firm decides to manage the African markets on its own.

We are focused largely on B2B customers from some of the industries including (but not limited to) the following;

  • Mechanical engineering
  • Automotive & mobility
  • Chemicals
  • Consumer goods & FMCG
  • Building materials, steel, water & woodworking
  • Industrial goods
  • Medical & pharma
  • IT & financial services
