The government of Rwanda and the European Union on Monday, September 7, inked a deal that will among others strengthen the recently launched European Business Chamber of Rwanda (EBCR).
He added: “It goes beyond the achievement of inclusive and sustainable growth, it has a cultural exchange aspect as well between the people of Rwanda and Europeans.”
According to Giancarlo Davite, the president of the organisation, this development will help them offer a professional service to their members, ensure they liaise and interact properly with the Rwandan authorities, the European diplomatic missions in Rwanda, and the European trade delegations.
Additionally, Davite who is also the owner of Kipharma, a distributor of pharmaceutical products, pointed out that their aim is to help European-owned businesses in Rwanda, European businesses interested in investing and doing business in Rwanda “and overall help Rwanda in attracting foreign investment and being the place to be for doing business in Africa”.
Furthermore, the organisation will provide a platform to collaborate with Rwandan businesses in coordination with the Private Sector Federation (PSF), encouraging partnerships and synergies between Rwandan companies and European based businesses and investors.
Some of the biggest European businesses operating in Rwanda include Skol, Heineken, Brussels Airlines and Volkswagen.
Besides, the two parties cooperate in areas of energy and infrastructure, rural development and food security, as well as governance, civil society and human rights among others.
