Why DBIC?
Three commitments for a successful establishment on the African continent.
Save time
Find in just a few clicks the local experts who know your sector and target country — without lengthy and costly prospecting.
Secure your steps
Verified experts, structured consultations and clear monitoring at every step so you can move forward without risk.
Trusted connections
Notaries, accountants, bankers, HR and marketing specialists: access a qualified network of on-the-ground African experts.
Born from an observation: the right people never cross paths
Bring the right people together in one place so the right opportunities can circulate.
An entrepreneur is looking for funding. An investor is looking for projects. A company wants to expand into Africa. An African entrepreneur is looking for opportunities in France. They all operate in separate ecosystems.
DBIC creates the setting where they meet: five editions per cycle, from November to July, with a Paris evening bringing together 150 to 200 selected participants.
Editions
One country in the spotlight each month: Congo, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Gabon, Mali and many more.
Physical presence
In-person editions organised directly at African embassies in Paris and across Europe.
Growing network
Verified experts in more than 10 African countries supporting the most ambitious projects.
