The Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique (CTA) recently held a meeting with French Ambassador to Mozambique, David Izzo, which discussed among other things, how the Mozambican private sector can take advantage of the opportunities existing in France, in particular, and in the European Union in general. The meeting also discussed the kind of business links that can be established to foster partnerships between Mozambican and French entrepreneurs and the rest of the European Union.
The two sides recognized the need for engaging Mozambique and French companies and underscored the need for businesses from both countries should realize this potential and work towards tapping them to the full extent.
During the meeting, both parties discussed how the Mozambican private sector might harness these opportunities, and what kind of connections could be established to foster and strengthen partnerships between Mozambican and French entrepreneurs and with the rest of the European Union.
The CTA representatives also underscored the need for using each other’s geographical positioning as a gateway to reach out to the rest of the region. Like Mozambique could use France to invite the rest of the EU to invest in that country, France could use Mozambique as a gateway to reach out to the African continent for trade and investment.
The CTA also underscored the need for holding a France-Mozambique business and investment forum as a platform for sharing opportunities and establishing partnerships. The CTA and the French Embassy also addressed the active involvement of France in the oil and gas industry in Mozambique, in particular that of Total in the Rovuma Basin. The forum also discussed how the French Embassy could advocate for the empowerment of national entrepreneurship, and for that company to prefer national content.
