An investment firm interested in opportunities in Algeria was crafting market entry strategies for various sectors and industries. The firm hired Ergo to help navigate the complex dynamics and relationships which influence the country's politics and economy and to act as a local "ambassador' to initiate business relationships.

Ergo's North Africa country teams probed deep into the intricate web of Algerian politics, business, and society, leveraging the insights of dozens of experts from across North Africa and Europe, including former senior Algerian government officials, prominent local business figures, and leading academics. To help identify useful partners and to avoid costly missteps, Ergo designed a unique social network diagram to illustrate the relationships of key individuals and groups in Algeria through political, business, and clan ties.

Ergo's innovative approach and the first-hand insider knowledge gleaned from our experts enabled our client to calibrate its investment strategies in Algeria to current realities and anticipate potential future developments.
