A delegation of Luxembourg businessmen visited Rwanda on June 10, 2019, in the framework of the first Rwanda-Luxembourg Business Forum organized by the RDB (Rwanda Development Board) and the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce.
During the forum, fifteen Luxembourg companies expressed their interests in the Rwandan IT sector that highlights the country as an African tech and digital pole.
According to Guy Baron (photo), director of investments at the RDB, apart from the IT sector, those businessmen were also interested in investment opportunities in the construction, consumer goods and industrial sectors.
“We have found a lot of commonalities between our countries’ economic development agenda. There is a lot of potential to work together through partnerships even at the level of working with small and medium companies,” said Jeannot Erpelding, Director of International Affairs from the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce.
