Good Morning,

The CEO Forum 2023 is a yearly event bringing executives from Africa and from around the world dealing with Africa. Over 800 attendies have registered to this event with the objective of connecting with other leaders of the industry.

Executives, Bankers, DFIs, IFIs, Politicians were here in Abudjan to discuss market trends, political risks, industry challenges, etc... 

NuRAN's objectives were to connect with our clients, our prospects, our operation partners and especially with banks, DFIs and equity players.

Supported by Investissement Quebec International, I was please to meet with key players for NuRAN like: 

• Orange MEA and DRC executives
• MTN IC CEO
• Cassava Technologies (Econet/Liquid Telecom)
• Netis Group
• Eutelsat
• Africa 50
• AfricInvest
• Inspired Evolution
• Ecobank
• Standard Chartered Bank
• And more

Again, the support of IQI led by Hubert Bolduc was substancial in this event.

Being in Ivory Coast, we take the opportunity to establish our relationships and business in the country also meeting with MTN's teams to align 2023 plans. It is also an opportunity to meet and look for well established professional in the industry to join NuRAN Wireless Cote d'Ivoire SARLU.

In summary, I come back with :

1. New business opportunities
2. Operational partnership
3. Mobile Network backbone strategy
4. New interested equity partners for our African Holding structure
5. New banks
6. ...and a solidified relationship with our key players

We look forward to improving our business on all fronts and CEO Forum was well suited for that.

Thanks

Francis
