2. Industry: Steelmaking, metallurgy and boiler making.
3. Services & Commerce: Large-scale distribution, video surveillance and technical inspection.

The objectives of the mission

Towards "win-win" partnerships

The director general of the Maison de l'Afrique, Youssouf Camara , emphasized the "voluntary" nature of these meetings. According to him, it is this direct approach that allows initial contacts to be transformed into solid industrial and commercial partnerships.
