SETTING UP

SETTING UP

Assisting French companies to enter into the emerging markets, especially BRICS.
Or advising companies from these counties on finding partners in France.

A large SME dealing in medical equipment seeks to break into the South African market, but to achieve this it is essential to understand the local administration as well as certain known risks: political stability, volatility of the Rand, etc. It also hopes to find a partner in the sector and jointly identify all the possible synergies.

One of the important aspects is also to define the temporary internal training programmes that it could offer South African managers.

INVESTING

INVESTING

Advising equity funds on investments in projects in these same emerging markets.

One of the sectors “exploding” in emerging countries is energy provision. The President of the World Bank, Jim Yong Kim, said at the end of March 2014 that Africa, for example, was in a state of “energy apartheid”. But the situation is the same in Latin America or Asia.

Equity funds value this sector of activity, which normally generates stable revenues over long periods. BRICS Access advises an Equity Fund on an extremely large biomass project in a Latin American country; the goal being to derisk the investment as far as possible: technical feasibility, understanding the Power Purchase Agreement, conditions of governance, and, if necessary, recourse to international arbitration.

TRAINING

TRAINING

Academic activities:
Courses and conferences (Further Education) on the BRICS markets, partnerships with comparable local establishments, particularly in Russia and in Brazil.

The managers of tomorrow know that growth will be essentially outside the OECD. But they are not prepared to deal with it in our countries, because there are too few business cases in these zones or little visibility concerning the specific features of the largest of these countries. A Parisian Business School has recently called upon BRICS Access for a series of conferences on “CSR in emerging countries: a luxury or a business reality?” The same event is planned in the near future in a prestigious School of Engineering.
