The Early Vision: We specialised in African markets long before they were a global focus, navigating the intersection of private business and development cooperation.

In the 2000s we conducted business missions to Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda, Mozambique and Angola.

The St. Gallen Connection: Expanding into management consulting and executive education, we integrated the rigorous standards of the Management Centre St. Gallen into our work in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.

A Modern Mission: Since 2005, our focus has been empowering European firms to unlock the potential of African markets. Today, we remain the strategic partner for those looking to expand across the continent.
