The 2nd Edition of the Business Breakfast of the international investment bank, S.A. (iibCV), organized in collaboration with the Sotavento Chamber of Commerce (CCS) and as part of the Technical Days of the XXVI Edition of the Cape Verde International Fair, which will take place in Praia from 15 to 18 November 2023, was an absolute success!

Under the theme “Trade Finance – Internationalization of Cape Verdean companies”, the event aimed to open up discussion on strategies and best practices for boosting international business, with a special focus on effective methods for mitigating trade flow risks, and was attended by several national companies, importers and exporters and other stakeholders who believe in the internationalization of the Cape Verdean economy.

Trade finance is the crucial and unavoidable answer to internationalization.

This initiative has strengthened iibCV’s position as a strategic partner for companies in the internationalization process, with a market share of 39.29% of trade finance transacted in Cape Verde.

We will continue to promote the internationalization and competitiveness of our companies, opening up new opportunities and new business relationships.

Special thanks to all those present, whose participation was vital to the success of the event.

To the guest speakers, Dr. Manuel Fernandes, specialist in Trade Finance, Dr. Marcos Rodrigues, President of the Sotavento Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Isidoro Gomes, CEO of the Cape Verde Post Office, we would like to thank them for sharing in the construction of new paths for the success of the Cape Verdean business fabric and for showing that banks must be partners with companies in the internationalization process.
