Business Development

Our unit

Our Business Development unit is made up of a group of highly professional international entrepreneurs, with long experience in managing complex projects: turnarounds, M&As, joint ventures, startups, new product launches and market development on a global scale.

We work in the European Community, Russia, Eastern Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.  Our main objective is to identify industrial and service realities, both startups or consolidated companies, which are highly innovative and high tech, to help them to expand their business in the markets in which we are present.

We offer our clients a global vision of the market and make it easier for them to take advantage of available opportunities to develop their business within the sector which is strategic for them, while considering their propensity for risk, their technological and financial prerogatives, cultural heritage and relevant environmental conditions.
