Captain Ibrahim Traoré, President of Burkina Faso, met with executives from Bejaiethio Industry and Engineering Solution on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. This meeting marks another step in his ambitious drive to industrialize the West African nation.

The delegation, led by CEO Bejai Naiker Nerash, discussed potential partnerships to strengthen the country’s industrial capabilities.

The meeting, held at the presidential palace, centered on developing strategic projects to transform Burkina Faso’s economic landscape and enhance its productive autonomy.

Bejaiethio, known for its expertise in engineering solutions and production unit design, could provide valuable technical support in developing the country’s industrial infrastructure.

« Our vision is to build a resilient economy based on local production and innovation capabilities, » Traoré emphasized during the discussions.

The partnership could create significant employment opportunities and technical training programs for Burkinabe youth, fostering a skilled local workforce.
