L\u00fcbeck, 22\/02\/2023: The African continent offers diverse opportunities in many sectors – also for small and medium-sized enterprises. In order to arouse interest, to sound out opportunities and to be able to answer questions precisely, the Chambers of Industry and Commerce in Schleswig-Holstein have been offering a new service since September 2022.

On 22 February, a kick-off event was held in L\u00fcbeck to launch the Entrepreneur Network Africa. Entrepreneurs, representatives of institutions and people interested in the topic met to exchange experiences in a relaxed atmosphere. Kay Pfaffenberger<\/a> from the CBTA was present as well as the author and professor Robert Kappel<\/a>. The medium-sized companies from Schleswig-Holstein FlorasBest Greenhouse Ltd, AQUAMONDIS Germany GmbH and Baier Motors GmbH were also represented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was intended to establish a wide-ranging business network to establish or expand business relations with Africa. At each meeting, companies report on their experiences and experts provide information on current trends. Participants who are planning a project and would like feedback on it, as well as those looking for cooperation partners, will be offered a pitch in the round. However, the main focus is on networking and making new contacts.
