『最後の巨大市場』といわれる、アフリカ市場。ドバイを含むUAEは、アフリカに参入する企業（特にアジア企業）にとっての拠点となっています。これは、貿易、ビジネス、投資、人脈に関して、北アフリカ、東アフリカ、南部アフリカとの結びつきが強いためです。アフリカ諸国内でも経済、政治、社会や保安体制などが大きく改善されており、こういった内発的な変化を遂げ、市場プレーヤーが多様化しています。変化の中に新たな商機を見出し、現地の企業などと連携を取ることで、販路開拓やローカライズした商品の開発、リスク管理を行い、市場参入がしやすいよう、アフリカ諸国の各国とのコミュニティが中近東アフリカのハブである「ドバイ」で形成されています。どのようなコミュニティがあるのか、当社の現地営業マネージャーIvo（アフリカ人）から、情報をお届けします。

The Global Business Forum (GBF) which was held in UAE in 2019 encourages companies to globalise their operations and Africa was one of the key region of target .The have been growing ties between Africa and UAE which has been rapidly expanding, supported by several important developments such as improved connectivity and business confidence, economic reforms and regional integration.

The expansion of direct flights between the UAE and major African cities, the signing of strategic cooperation agreements and the easing of visa restrictions are also important factors accelerating bilateral business exchange.

 

◆Ghana Community in UAE:  

Ghana is one of the fastest growing countries in Africa .With attractive economic policies and free import tax policies of some specific goods in to the country, Ghana in recent years has been a central of attraction to most investor who wants to expand their business in Africa. UAE is one of Africa’s top sources of foreign investment and the country is supporting the continent’s economic development in a big way by funding infrastructure projects and filling market gaps in fast-growing sectors of Africa’s economy, from transportation to power generation and telecommunications.

In addition, the recent launch of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AFCFTA) will likely open up African economies further and boost UAE-African trade and investment flows. At a time of growing challenges for free trade, we see this as a positive development that can potentially lead to a new era of economic cooperation and integration.

Africa still have a lot of un-tap resources couple with the youthful and increasing population with the eagerness among Africans to improve in their standard of living, infrastructure and technology ,Africa is a young market and the future potential market for smart investors .
