Your opportunities in West Africa’s third-largest economy

Côte d’Ivoire has seen positive and dynamic developments since the elections in 2011. The political situation is becoming increasingly stable, the economy is growing and there is an overall downward trend in unemployment.

We offer a tailor-made package of advice, contacts and financial support so that together we can identify and overcome investment obstacles.

In cooperation with Ivorian partners, we are also developing attractive business locations, including industrial and business parks, and promoting specific growth industries.
