Prior to Ukrainian enterprises – exporters of goods and services, an important task is presentation of its competitive products and services to the new markets, reorientation of its work,taking into consideration the sharp complications of the post-Soviet markets and need to adapt to the new conditions after the signing of the Association Agreement with the EU.
Considering the global trend of a dramatic expansion of the capacity of consumer markets and investment products in regions such as Africa, the activation of both the trade and investment cooperation with them is one of the most promising areas
Average economic growth in Africa was 4.5% in 2015 and as to forecast additional 5% in 2016 emphasized in the annual economic report related Africa, prepared by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), African Development Bank and the UN Development Programme (UNDP). The inflow of funds of investors outside of Africa to the countries of continent has reached a record $ 193 billion in 2015
It encourages the lead countries such as the United States, European Union, China to pay more attention to this continent, such cooperation is quite difficult, African countries have their own specifics.
To assist interested African and Ukrainian enterprises and organizations to define its “road map” on this difficult path we created a public organization “The Ukrainian – AFRICAN CENTER FOR BUSINESS COOPERATION» (NGO «UACBC»).
UACBC target is to form a basis of infrastructure of business relations with the African countries and the interaction of government and business in order to expand Ukrainian economic presence in Africa.
Nowadays internet space is the main information and communication field, so we decided to create this electronic platform coordinator of which will be UACBC.
Its main objectives are, first of all, practical assistance, information and consulting support, and an analysis of the problems of the bilateral relations, the development of recommendations to remove barriers or reduce the impact of individual factors that influence these relationships. The organization of conferences, “round tables”, thematic exhibitions will be used as the main forms of work to build business contacts.
We are convinced that proposed by us organization of work will be the most effective and will certainly lead to the beginning of a mutually beneficial cooperation with companies of countries in African region. We commit ourselves to coordinate this work, at the same time we will promptly inform you about the progress in one direction or another. We hope for the interest and support from your side.
