AFRICA
Here are some of the countries in Africa where we boast an extensive network of contacts and capabilities, thanks to the experience and relationships our partners have cultivated over the past three decades.

Burkina Faso has become the fourth-largest gold producer in Africa, attracting foreign investment in the mining sector. Opportunities also exist in mining equipment manufacturing, finance, investment, and geophysical mapping. The country is also home to innovative startups and companies in various sectors.
Central African Republic remains one of the poorest and most fragile countries, but it possesses abundant natural and mineral resources such as gold, diamonds, uranium, and more, which present significant opportunities for exploitation and export. There are also initiatives like the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs 2024, aiming to empower female entrepreneurs.
