NexisAfrica

NexisAfrica was delighted to be a strategic partner of the Africa Global Business Connect Summit in Dubai last week. Congratulations to Magdalena Radecka and her team for pulling together a high quality event. The Summit brought together decision makers and investors from across Africa, the UAE, and all around the world to forge real partnerships and alliances for investment in African markets and for the global expansion of African businesses. The Summit was all about taking action, so we look forward to working closely with, and guiding, participants who plan to enter African markets and invest in African growth businesses, and helping Africa-based businesses attract global capital and expand internationally. Our partners Dominik Kleemann and Joshua Bell represented our team at the Summit. Dominik Kleemann had the opportunity to deliver a keynote, participate in and moderate panel discussions, and be interviewed. Our team also participated in a pitching session. We'll share photos and videos over the coming days from those sessions, as well as some key takeaways for those interested in actively participating in what we believe will be the African Century. Stay tuned!

Last week our managing partner Dominik Kleemann spoke to Nompumelelo Ngubeni and Mo G from Channel Africa in a live radio interview. The interview covered NexisAfrica, the upcoming Africa Global Business Connect Summit in Dubai on 7-8 November, and growth sectors in African markets.

NexisAfrica, represented by partner Joshua Bell, recently attended two panel discussions at the Africa Rising track at Expand North Star in Dubai Harbour. The first panel explored the strengthening UAE-Africa relationship and we heard from Benjamin Toulouze (Axian Group), Andre Jr. Ayotte (Modus Capital Africa), and Vianney Mathonnet (Modus Capital). The second focused on the African startup ecosystem. The panelists were Michel Friedman (Reflect Ventures), Joseph K. Appiah, MBA(Black Star Group), Renald Appiah (Wangara Green Ventures), Farrukh Hussain (Sony Innovation Fund), and Mark Kleyner (Dream VC) moderated the panel. Some key takeaways from the panels were: ➡ The UAE is serving as a key bridge connecting Africa to the GCC and other global markets. In particular, Dubai is a strategic relationship-building hub, providing African companies access to multiple markets and acting as a springboard for global expansion. ➡ Despite the abundance of capital in the UAE, there is no ‘easy money’ for companies looking to raise capital – building relationships is key. ➡ Investors looking to go it alone in African markets often fail for various reasons, including not understanding how to navigate the regulatory, cultural and operational landscape. It is critical to partner with local partners. ➡ It is a mistake to assume that what works in one African country will work in another. Africa’s 54 markets have their own regulations, culture, ways of working, even where they are in the same region. It is critical to approach each market on its merits and work with trusted local partners. ➡ Africa’s growth story is largely being driven by its “mobile-first” development (leapfrogging traditional development paths) and widespread internet access and uptake. This presents significant opportunities to disrupt existing business models and create solutions tailored to the African context. ➡ For African companies to grow, reach scale, and achieve successful exits, there needs to be more horizontal M&A. Successful exits are key to building investor confidence and attract more capital to African markets. In particular, the observations around working with trusted local partners and the need to treat each market on its merits resonates with our assessment. NexisAfrica was established to become the trusted partner for international investors seeking to enter or invest in African markets by providing cross-border legal, origination, market entry, and strategic advisory services. We help investors by bringing in the right local partners and guiding them through their investment, transaction, or market entry through our in-house expertise, extensive network on the ground, and frequent presence on the ground in key African markets - and we do this at international best practice level.

NexisAfrica, represented by managing partner Dominik Kleemann, attended the 2024 Africa Down Under conference in Perth. #ADU is a two-day resources focused event which brings together key stakeholders in the mining industry from Australia and Africa.   The conference provided an excellent forum to connect with our existing and new contacts in the mining industry, including those representing investment capital, mining assets and mining services providers. We were also privileged to engage in highly informative exchanges with key stakeholders at governmental and regulatory levels, such as our insightful side-meetings held with the Ghanaian delegation including the CEO of the Ghana Minerals Commission and Ghanaian High Commissioner to Australia.   NexisAfrica was pleased to note a renewed focus on African mining asset investments among the predominantly ASX listed companies in attendance. Other key takeaways include:   ➡️ The overall bullish outlook on M&A activity in the resources space across Africa over the next 12 months should lead to interesting investment opportunities for companies seeking to acquire new mining assets on the continent. This trend is further strengthened by relatively new market participants, including those from the emerging mining investment hubs within the Middle East. ➡️ The emergence of sophisticated local operators and mining services providers with activities across multiple jurisdictions creates unique opportunities for capital investments and partnerships to facilitate growth through economies of scale within a market segment expected to witness significant evolution in coming years based on economic and regulatory trends witnessed across the region. ➡️ There is an increased drive among mining companies to align with the long-term focus of African governments toward increased beneficiation of extracted resources in African countries. The capturing of a greater share of the value chain from natural resources creates significant potential for investments associated with capacity building for in-country beneficiation, driving additional industrialisation and job-creation efforts as part of a genuine win-win approach between governments and private sector.   NexisAfrica is looking forward to an exciting 12 months in the African resources space assisting our clients with identifying suitable mining assets for acquisitions, sourcing investment capital with respect to identified growth opportunities and successfully closing and safeguarding mining transactions through innovative legal structuring.
