As much as I dislike this map, it is of extreme importance if planning to enter or expand in Africa. This is a map from 1914, illustrating its division among European colonizers. It shows the importance of understanding each member's influence and historical background in terms of strategic planning. During my talk at the The Global Chamber on business culture in Morocco, I emphasized a crucial point: having a clear vision and purpose. Whether Morocco 🇲🇦 becomes your primary market or a springboard to other French-speaking African markets, strategic planning is key. Today, Morocco stands out as a powerhouse in Africa, surpassing traditional influences through collaboration and strategic agreements. Once you establish yourself in the Moroccan market, doors to numerous lucrative opportunities across the continent open wide. If you're interested in learning more, please feel free to connect.
