Republic of Congo - Market Entry StrategyRepublic of Congo - Market Entry
Visiting the Republic of Congo to meet with key players in the government and the various economic institutions is important for understanding the business environment, opportunities, and challenges. The importance of relationships cannot be overstated; investors should not expect to make serious inroads without establishing a ground presence and strong local contacts.
There is a small U.S. business community in the Republic of Congo, concentrated primarily in the oil sector. These enterprises are located mainly in Pointe-Noire.
All national-level government entities are based in the capital city of Brazzaville.
U.S. stakeholders are advised to become familiar with the challenges posed by local infrastructure and labor force realities prior to any major investment.
