Invest in Republic of Congo
The Republic of Congo, also known as Congo-Brazzaville is one of the richest geological regions in the world. Located in the heart of the African continent, Republic of Congo is bordered by Gabon to the west, Cameroon to the northwest and Democratic Republic of Congo to the south.
At the dawn of the opening of the continental free trade zone, our country located in the heart of Africa must be a strategic hub for production, processing and distribution.
It is in this perspective that the government of the Republic of Congo has decided to trust the ARISE group to ensure the development of three special economic zones in our country.
