OUR VISION:
Our true north: Your International Growth
African market is one of the most dynamic environments in the world but yet unknown and feared by many companies. That said, A.M.S.I aims to be a catalyst and partner at all points and overcome local challenges. Because we understand that all markets are not created equal, we are very selective about our proposals. They must pass strict specifications and must carry a social return on investment, which is the benefit for the economy created by our partnership.
​
Thus, we address market fear in four ways:
​
Connection: While we believe that nobody knows your business better than you, We, on the other hand, find and work with people, smart people in their field, who make us smarter and faster to overcome challenges.
​
Taste the water: Outsourcing partner, joint venture or establish an offshoring partner, case by case, industry by industry, product by product depending on the model that suits your business best.
​
Control and Grow: Develop a business model for the market with the right business partner, You can decide whether to enter the market independently or partner with other businesses as well. However, your international expansion become easier and less risky by partnering with experienced professionals who understand local culture and business practices.
Contingency Plan: We are not naïve and we agree every business decision involves some level of risk, particularly when a company is venturing into the African marketplace. Since risk is unavoidable, it is important to set up and develop an exit strategy and create metrics that measure your growth and progress ahead of time and track them continually.
