The firm

A strategic advisory boutique, between Africa and Asia.

Based in Abidjan, Bigot Consulting International supports companies, investors and institutions in their projects between West Africa, China, Asia and international markets.

Our approach

A complete reading, a partner who acts.

Successful projects between Africa and Asia take institutions, markets and physical flows of goods into account at the same time. Too often, these dimensions are handled separately.

Bigot Consulting International brings them together in a single approach: institutional relations, business intelligence, deal structuring and maritime expertise.

China is a distinctive anchor for the firm, not a limit: our clients rely on this network to open doors in Asia as well as in other international markets.

Our values

What guides every assignment.

Rigour

Sourced analysis, reasoned recommendations and deliverables that match the decisions they support.

Discretion

Confidentiality is at the core of what we do. We protect your information as we protect our own.

Ethics

Legitimate influence rests on arguments, facts and strict respect for the rules.

Commitment

A dedicated counterpart, from the first meeting to the result.
