March 18-20, 2018. West Africa – A lecture on business opportunities in Africa for Chinese investors, a company visit that provided real life insight into the processes, marketing and financial issues involved in innovation and scaling up, a look back at the history of CEIBS’ entry into Africa and a visit to a castle whose historical roots are entangled with the slave trade made this CEIBS EMBA overseas module a truly worthwhile experience.
