Côte d’Ivoire: Strong prospects amid global challenges

From 17 to 21 March, Credendo participated in the economic mission to Côte d’Ivoire, organised by Wallonia Export & Investment Agency (AWEX). The mission focussed on the water and sanitation sector, which is crucial for sustainable development and at the centre of global concerns.

The programme offered a good mix between B2B meetings with local companies and workshop sessions with the Ministry of Water and Sanitation and regional water authorities. The delegation also visited relevant local and international institutions, such as UNICEF, the World Bank and the African Development Bank.

Kristof Luycx, Head of Business development, presented Credendo’s economic outlook on Côte d’Ivoire to the Belgian delegation and emphasised the benefits of the Credendo Green Package and our solutions for covering trade and export transactions. A particular highlight was the interactive workshop at the Ministry of Water and Sanitation in the presence of the minister and the Belgian ambassador. Representatives of the ministry and the regional water agencies talked about opportunities, cooperation and award procedures with the Belgian companies present.
