The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Côte d'Ivoire (CCI-CI) is going on the offensive. On Monday, April 13, 2026, its president, Touré Faman , officially launched the support of a large delegation of Emirati investors on a four-day prospecting mission to Abidjan.

Strategic monitoring of the Dubai agreements

This visit is not a coincidence. It formalizes the agreement signed on November 26, 2025, in Dubai between the CCI-CI (Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Côte d'Ivoire) and the Global Real Estate Developers group, under the auspices of Prime Minister Robert Beugré Mambé. Led by the Ambassador of Côte d'Ivoire to the United Arab Emirates, Diaby Vacaba , this mission aims to translate diplomatic intentions into concrete industrial projects.

Key sectors at the heart of the exchanges

The objective is clear: to build "concrete and sustainable" partnerships. To achieve this, the CCI-CI has mobilized its experts to guide Emirati entrepreneurs towards priority sectors, aligned with the National Development Plan (PND) 2026-2030 :

1. Infrastructure: High-standard construction and decoration.
2. Natural resources: Mining, with a focus on manganese.
3. Agribusiness: Modernizing the agricultural value chain.
4. Logistics: Boosting cross-border trade.

Tailored support

Mr. Touré Faman instructed his technical services to ensure direct contact between the delegation and specialized actors in the Ivorian private sector.

"This support aims to facilitate strategic meetings to encourage structuring investments and intensify trade between our two nations."

The delegation's program is packed, with a series of visits to public and private institutions. This immersion will allow investors to seize opportunities in the Ivorian market and lay the groundwork for future large-scale projects.
