AboutField expertise in service of business development in Africa.
UDI Africa was born from the complementarity between event expertise, business development and international project management.
"UDI" stands for Your Development in Africa. It is our promise, not just our name.
Born from events and consulting, UDI Africa was built around a simple idea: bring strategy and execution under one roof, so our clients have a single point of contact, from ambition to delivery.
Based in Rabat and active in more than fifteen countries, we operate at the crossroads of business, institutions and foundations, alongside investors preparing their international expansion in Africa.
Our expertise combines consulting and event production, suited to one-off missions as well as end-to-end programmes. See concrete examples on our case studies page.
