Case Studies

Wave (Fintech)

Founded by U.S. entrepreneurs, Wave has become one of the leading mobile money platforms in Francophone West Africa. In Ivory Coast, it provides accessible and affordable financial services to millions. This success story shows the potential for American innovation in Africa.

Cargill (Agribusiness)

Cargill has operated in Ivory Coast since 1997. Its cocoa processing plant in Yopougon creates local jobs, trains farmers, and supports sustainable agriculture. Their continued investment reflects the long-term benefits of value-added production.

These examples demonstrate that U.S. companies can thrive in Ivory Coast while making a lasting difference.
