Clyde & Co Africa Breakfast Briefing

Clyde & Co invites you to an informative breakfast briefing addressing the key opportunities and considerations for companies entering or operating in Africa.

Africa will be a key engine for global growth over the next 30 years, and economic and political ties between the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have deepened in recent years, with the UAE being one of the largest global investors in Africa.

With resource-rich countries, rapid economic growth, increasing political stability and an entrepreneurial environment, international companies see clear investment opportunities across the continent. However, to successfully leverage the opportunities in key sectors such as energy, agriculture, real estate, commodities, manufacturing, and hospitality, businesses must understand the unique and varied legal, social and political dynamics and risks across the continent.

Clyde & Co Africa experts, alongside the Economist Intelligence Corporate Network, will share insights on the latest trends and regulations impacting companies entering or operating in Africa and how to overcome and manage the challenges they may pose.
