A further colum of the Butzkies Foundation is the promotion of economic relations, including research and development.
A proverb states: „Give a beggar a fish and he has got a day’s meal. Show a beggar how to fish and he has got food for a lifetime!“
We are guided by this principle and are actively supporting a fair participation of Africa, in international markets.
For example, we conduct market research for African companies, provide assessments or write to potential customers in the EU, and finally we accompany the market entry. Even the smalles companies benefit from our infrastructure, to be stronger together, in a cooperative moddle.
In the opposite direction, these opportunities are open to EU companies, as well. But here the entry level is set higher in terms of the exprected benifit to the society in a whole. This means in particular, emphasis is placed on environmental protection or joint research projects with African companies or universities.
Our services for the participating companies is free of charge.
