Practice 05

Strategic business relations

Targeted introductions to partners, investors and institutions; government relations and UAE–Africa delegations.

Our approach is advisory: we identify opportunities, prepare files, arrange introductions and coordinate every step — never promising guaranteed outcomes, because seriousness shows in method. Think of us as your business advisor in Dubai: on your side of the table, with a Gulf network behind us.

The role of a UAE Africa advisor: opening the right doors, on both sides.

Who this is for

Who this practice serves

This practice serves those for whom the right meeting is worth more than a market study: executives seeking an Emirati partner, institutions and chambers organising a delegation, groups needing a channel to public decision-makers on both shores.

How an engagement runs

Four phases, zero surprises

1.Scoping

A confidential consultation to define objective, budget and timeline.

2.Written plan

Scope, deliverables, fees: everything in black and white before we start.

3.Execution

Introductions, visits, negotiations — you are informed at every step.

4.Permanent relay

Mission complete, we remain your point of contact in the Emirates.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about this practice

Do you guarantee access to government officials?

No — and beware of anyone who guarantees it. What we do: prepare a file worth presenting, identify the relevant counterpart, request the meeting through proper channels and prepare you for it. Our network markedly improves the odds; the decision to receive you always belongs to the institution.

How do I get started?

With a confidential consultation — by video call or in Dubai. You set out your objective; we tell you frankly what is realistic, in what order, and on what budget. You then decide, with no commitment.

What are your fees?

Every engagement is quoted after the initial consultation, because scope varies widely by country, sector and objective. The quote is written and itemised, and nothing starts before your approval.
