STRATEGIC
ALIGNMENT

Where East African Market Demand Meets Nordic Innovation.

While Europe projects 1.4% growth, East Africa is accelerating at 5.9%. While nations like Germany and France lead in Foreign Direct Investment, Nordic nations are lagging—it is time to close that gap.

The opportunity is already being seized by core European neighbors. This aggressive engagement highlights the market's potential—a trend where many Nordic nations remain on the sidelines. Forward-thinking neighbors like Estonia have already established a foothold, with companies like Bolt scaling rapidly across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda
