Why This MBA Matters for Professionals in Cotonou

Cotonou is a critical gateway for West African trade and logistics, anchored by the Port of Cotonou.

The MBA’s focus on strategy, analytics, and leadership empowers you to optimise value chains, lead market expansions, and introduce data-driven decision-making across these industries.

Public administration, development projects, and infrastructure also play major roles in the local and regional economy.
