On Friday, October 3, 2025, a signing ceremony was held in Abidjan-Plateau between Côte d’Ivoire Export and twenty-five (25) Ivorian companies under the Competitive Value Chains for Jobs and Economic Transformation Project (PCCET), under the leadership of the Ministry of Trade and Industry.

This major milestone demonstrates the Ivorian Government’s commitment to strengthening the competitiveness of local enterprises with high export potential.

Implemented with the support of the World Bank, this partnership aims to help Ivorian SMEs build their capacities and achieve sustainable integration into regional and international markets.

Selected through a transparent and open process, the 25 companies will benefit from an export diagnosis to identify their strengths and challenges before receiving tailored support designed to enhance their performance.

The objective: to turn them into true export champions and ambassadors of “Made in Côte d’Ivoire.”

During the ceremony, Côte d’Ivoire Export encouraged the beneficiaries to remain fully engaged and transparent throughout the process, ensuring efficient and sustainable support.

Through this initiative, the Agency reaffirms its commitment to strengthening the competitiveness of the private sector and contributing to the economic diversification and international visibility of Côte d’Ivoire.
