Your opportunities in one of Africa’s most promising markets: Senegal
Senegal has been undergoing a steady process of political stabilisation since the presidential elections in 2012. Its market-friendly economic system is also increasingly attracting private investment. The pro-reform national development strategy is currently focusing on promoting the food industry and the digital economy. The Special Initiative aims to provide targeted support to these promising business sectors in Senegal. In collaboration with our Senegalese partners, we are developing attractive business hubs, including industrial and business parks. However, our activities are not limited to the food-processing industry or the information and communications technology sector.
We will be happy to help you harness the many different investment opportunities that exist in Senegal. We offer a tailor-made package of advice, contacts and financial support to help you identify and overcome specific investment obstacles. More information about our broad range of offerings is available here.
Are you a small or medium-sized Senegalese enterprise? We can help you enhance your competitiveness or tap into new markets.
