Industry: ADCI in Ferkessédougou for the reinforcement of units

As part of its outreach tour, the Agency for the Development and Competitiveness of Industries of Côte d'Ivoire (ADCI) recently organized an information workshop in Ferkessédougou for industrial companies in the Tchologo region. This meeting, part of the agency's awareness program in inland cities, aimed to present to local operators the missions of the ADCI as well as its support mechanisms, in particular the National Restructuring and Upgrading Program (PNRMN), intended to strengthen the competitiveness of Ivorian industrial units.Participants were able to discuss the eligibility conditions for the various programs and the technical and strategic support opportunities offered to industrial SMEs, often less informed about existing public systems outside Abidjan. This step in Ferkessédougou illustrates ADCI's desire to decentralize its action and reach a regional industrial fabric that is still poorly supported, in a region of northern Ivory Coast where agro-industry and local processing constitute important levers of economic development for the years to come.
