The challenge of moving from poverty to prosperity sets clear growth assumptions.<\/p>\n<p>Second, competition for access to natural resources increases Africa&#8217;s bargaining power. In less than a decade, emerging economies have become major consumers of oil, gas and other minerals. Consequently, prices are rising, as is Africa&#8217;s strategic role.<\/p>\n<p>Third, technological and economic changes open up new avenues in Africa. Competition is intensifying to manage scarce resources, meet the needs of the global<br \/>\nmiddle class and attract the underprivileged classes into mass consumption. Moreover, rising labour costs in Asia will create opportunities for low-cost manufacturing in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>IBC programmes are designed to identify and match the best business partners in West Africa, the United States and Europe, by developing contacts and business relationships, providing a platform for project development and information exchange.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-5 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-5 vc_col-sm-offset-2 vc_col-xs-12&#8243;]<div class=\"gem-image gem-wrapbox gem-wrapbox-style-default gem-wrapbox-position-right  thegem-custom-6aa78bf4c0f228967\"  style=\"\" ><div class=\"gem-wrapbox-inner \" ><img class=\"gem-wrapbox-element img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ibcspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ibc-mapa-africa-nodos.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.thegem-custom-6aa78bf4c0f228967.gem-image a:hover img {filter: brightness( 100% ) contrast( 100% ) saturate( 100% ) blur( 0px ) hue-rotate( 0deg );}<\/style><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-12 vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6aa78bf4c14ef {margin-top: 100px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6aa78bf4c14ef\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-lg vc_col-md-12 vc_col-xs-12 vc_hidden-xs&#8221;]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6aa78bf4c1519 {margin-top: 30px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6aa78bf4c1519\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-12 vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-lg vc_col-md-12 vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-sm-offset-2 vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;] IBC works&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-24786","page","type-page","status-publish"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>About Us | IBC Spain<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Opening markets in Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe since 2009.
