As part of a broader engagement in Brussels with a Malian economic delegation facilitated by European Strategic Initiative (ESI), a series of targeted B2B exchanges were organised with Belgian private sector actors.
These interactions aimed at fostering concrete business linkages, exploring partnership opportunities, and providing direct exposure to European industrial ecosystems.
A notable example was the meeting and site visit organised with Belgabroed Group, in the presence of Stefan Van Meirhaeghe, Managing Director of Incubel.
This exchange provided valuable insights into:
• the structuring of integrated poultry value chains;
• industrial-scale production of day-old chicks and hatching eggs;
• export-oriented agri-business models and logistics.
Such engagements illustrate the importance of connecting entrepreneurial dynamics with operational expertise, particularly in sectors such as agriculture and agro-industry, where scalable and transferable models can support local value creation.
European Strategic Initiative contributes to these dynamics by facilitating structured engagement between African and European economic actors.
