Efficient Network's 3 business lines

Three disciplines, one mandate.

Across the Middle East and Africa, Efficient Network advises and supports states and companies in their strategy and development — working with multinationals and SMEs alike, alongside international institutions and local economic actors.

Diplomacy

In an increasingly complex geopolitical environment, Efficient Network advises its clients on the international stage to promote and protect shared economic interests, and to facilitate negotiation, cooperation and the management of relations between governments. Efficient Network adds value to its clients' actions through strategic intelligence, communication campaigns and the development of cross-border cooperation. In doing so, Efficient Network helps create a business-friendly environment.

Consulting

Efficient Network provides companies with recommendations and guidance to help them build effective strategies, reach their commercial objectives and remain competitive in the market. Efficient Network undertakes assessment missions, examines a company's strengths and weaknesses, analyses market trends and delivers its recommendations. Efficient Network draws on a network of experts supporting companies specialised in Business-to-Government work — including the optimal mobilisation of budgetary resources, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Africa and the Middle East. Efficient Network has supported companies in the commodities, defence, healthcare, petrochemicals, construction, renewable-energy and new-technology sectors.

Business Development

We have the expertise, the network and the vision to make the most of the opportunities before us. Efficient Network supports and advises commodity trading houses: oil and gas, basic commodities, fertilisers, metals and minerals. We know that choosing the right partner is a crucial decision. Efficient Network works alongside industry leaders to seize opportunities in Africa and the Middle East across the entire value chain — from investment in strategic assets to market access, including storage facilities, logistics assets, infrastructure and the acquisition of market share.

B2G

Efficient Network supports and advises its clients on the international stage to promote and protect national economic interests, and to facilitate negotiation, cooperation and the management of relations between government actors and commercial entities — creating an environment conducive to economic exchange. In this way, Efficient Network plays an essential role in building economic relations between countries.

PPP

Public-private partnership mandates require mastering both the expectations of governments and the logic of capital markets — structuring agreements that serve sovereign objectives while delivering commercial returns.

FDI

Attracting foreign direct investment to sovereign territories requires a fine-grained knowledge of national priorities, high-value information and support sustained over the long term.

M&A

Project financing across mergers, acquisitions, financial restructuring and fundraising — connecting strategic assets to the capital and partners that move them along the value chain.

Communication

Efficient Network helps its clients give full value to their work through strategic communication campaigns and the development of international relations. This includes planning, situation assessment, the definition of key messages, the selection of appropriate communication channels, and the ongoing management of relations with media and stakeholders.
