Cape Verde – Nigeria Business Council (CVNBC)
Business and Trade Facilitation
We facilitate the creation of commercial partnerships between Cabo Verde and Nigeria, offering specialized support in market research and feasibility studies. We provide assistance in negotiations, logistics, customs procedures, and product export/import. We also identify distributors, importers, and new international channels to help expand your business’s reach.
Network and Social Networking
We offer exclusive access to our Directory of Members and Business Leaders, which promotes greater visibility and collaboration opportunities. We organise business forums, trade missions and networking events to strengthen relationships between companies and institutions. We also facilitate direct contact with government and private decision-makers in Cabo Verde and Nigeria, fostering an environment conducive to forming new strategic partnerships.
Investment Support
We support start-ups and companies looking to set up in Cabo Verde or Nigeria by providing solutions such as office space, back-office services and legal and tax advice. We also prepare feasibility reports in strategic sectors and promote public-private partnerships (PPPs) in high-potential areas such as energy, tourism, information and communication technologies, agriculture, and the blue economy.
Information and Capacity Building
We provide access to sector reports, specialised publications and up-to-date trade and investment statistics. We organise best practice sharing sessions, workshops and training programmes to develop business skills. Additionally, we publicise business opportunities, public tenders and strategic investment initiatives that foster collaboration between Cabo Verde and Nigeria.
Visa and Mobility Services
We support the process of obtaining business visas for Cabo Verde and Nigeria by facilitating contact with the relevant embassies and consulates. We also assist with business mobility matters, ensuring greater agility and security when executives and investors travel between the two countries.
Unique Events and Benefits
Members benefit from reduced rates when participating in conferences, trade fairs and events organised by the CVNBC. We also organise business and cultural exchange programmes between Cabo Verde and Nigeria, and provide exclusive opportunities for institutional and commercial promotion through the Council’s communication channels.
These services would position CVNBC as a strategic bridge between Cape Verde and Nigeria, but also as a gateway for investors from ECOWAS (Nigeria) and CPLP/EU (Cabo Verde).
