The focus will be on how Danish companies can exploit the strategic opportunities available in the African markets and how EIFO can help reduce the potential financial risks when operating in emerging markets.

Africa is a continent full of potential and opportunities, but it is also an area where there are significant challenges that companies need to be aware of. Whether it is logistics, local legislation, political stability or cultural differences, it is important for Danish companies to be prepared when entering African markets. EIFO offers a range of financing solutions that can help companies navigate and exploit the great growth opportunities that Africa offers.
