Informing decisions.Opening the right doors.
Bigot Consulting International supports companies, investors and institutions seeking to understand, access and develop opportunities between Africa and Asia: access to decision-makers, in-depth market insight, deal structuring and support through to completion.
Our positioning
A firm at the crossroads of influence, markets and the sea.
Projects linking Africa and Asia play out on several fronts at once: administrations and regulators, industrial and financial partners, shipping routes. Succeeding requires mastering each of them.
We bring together public affairs, business intelligence, project structuring and maritime expertise in one team. Our clients gain a complete reading of their environment, and a partner who acts at every stage.
