Following the TICAD7 held in this August, the momentum for Japanese companies to advance into Africa is increasing. In addition to the advance of major companies so far, there are increasing cases of SMEs and start-up companies advancing, but it is still difficult to obtain information on business in Africa compared to Europe and America and Asia.

In this seminar, instructors with support for expanding into Africa and investing in local companies will explain the latest business trends in Africa, and examples of Japanese companies including small and medium-sized companies and startups, and their success factors. In addition, we will introduce the specific needs and issues of local companies, so that we can examine the possibility of business matching with participating companies with a sense of touch.

We look forward to your participation.
