RETAIL IN AFRICA WEBINAR
Set your business up for long-term growth on the African continent
Africa has been called the “last frontier” for businesses seeking growth in a flattening global context, and as African markets slowly rebound, it will continue attracting brands and retailers alike. Succeeding in African retail markets poses its challenges, as seen by the recent exit of retailers and other businesses from certain African markets.
Trade Intelligence’s Retail in Africa Webinar aims to provide a strategic guide for ambitious organisations looking to access Africa’s retail markets. Secure your seat at the webinar to hear from experts and get a taste of the Retail in Africa Report.
