WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

My trip to Russia was a very big surprise. What is said outside, mostly negative rethorics and what I saw is completly opposite. Very plesant place, top infrastructure (both very modern and very classical), very rich culture and more importantly, great people, really great people. What was useful for my business – I met people from various fields and engaged in discussions with some. Less than two years later, one of those companies is my partner into a venture targeting Zambia and DRCongo. I’ll definitly come back as often as i can.

My trip to Russia was an eye opener for me. It was one stop shop for industry and commerce. We had a lot of contact with machinery and equipment manufacturing companies who we are talking to through B2B Export hence this current visit.

Bernard K.Blewu, Ghana

The trip to Russia left a lasting impression on me because not only did it shatter all the stereotypes i had about the country. But it also provided me an opportunity to form new friendships. As a result of the trip now I have a business partner in Russia. We are currently exploring several opportunities including creating a platform for young executives from African countries and other emerging markets to visit Russia and learn from some of the amazing best practices their Russian counterparts have to offer and vice-versa. Further I observed opportunities in fintech and other tech enables platforms that are potentially lucrative.
