West Africa Market Entry & Technology

The Bridge Between
Africa and the World.

West Africa Market Entry, Technology, Trade & Labour Consultancy

Africa for Africans.

We bridge the gap between global business capability and West African opportunity — with particular depth in Mauritania, Senegal, Ghana, and Mali. Not as observers. As participants.

Ground-level relationships.
Corporate delivery capability.

Consult2.Africa is a West Africa market entry, technology, trade, and labour consultancy founded by Mohammad Bilal Sayed and Raees Mukuddem.

Our founding principal spent eight years living and working in Mauritania in humanitarian infrastructure. He speaks English, Arabic, French, and Urdu, holds institutional relationships across Mauritanian government and civil society, and understands the region not as an observer — but as a participant.

Together, our principals offer something genuinely rare: ground-level West African relationships, South African corporate delivery experience, deployable ICT and digital signage technology, and established networks across the India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh corridor for skills and labour sourcing.

"We are not here to extract value from the continent. We are here to connect it to itself and bring the right capability in, on Africa's own terms."
On-Ground Presence Eight years immersive experience in Mauritania — not a study tour
Institutional Relationships Across Mauritanian government, civil society, and Islamic scholarship networks
Multilingual Capability English, Arabic, French, Urdu — operating in the language of commerce
Technical Backbone ENRA Technologies — 17+ years ICT and AV delivery across South Africa

Mauritania at a Glance

A small but quietly growing economy, where recent discoveries of offshore gas, oil, and minerals are opening new horizons for business, investment, and partnership.

Population

Approximately 5.5 million (2026). One of the least densely populated countries in Africa, with half the population in and around Nouakchott.

Economy

GDP growth of 4.2% in 2025, driven by the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim gas project, iron ore, gold, fishing, and agriculture.

Digital Agenda

The Khidmaty e-government platform (2024) and national identity system Houwiyeti anchor a growing digital transformation push. World Bank CPF 2026–2030 targets digital infrastructure.

Investment Climate

A revised Investment Code (2025) and new PPP Law (2024) make it increasingly straightforward for businesses and professionals to establish a presence — with a one-stop-shop registration agency.

Trade Access

Mauritanian goods enter China duty-free (98% of exports) since December 2023. AGOA eligibility restored in January 2024, restoring US market access.

Doing Business

An Islamic Republic. Business is built on personal relationships, trust, and patience. Arabic is the primary language of commerce. Cultural intelligence is essential.
