Africa is at the forefront of a global transformation, with booming economies, untapped resources, and an emerging middle class. The continent presents an immense opportunity for businesses, governments, and investors alike. However, navigating the complexities of its diverse markets requires expertise, cultural intelligence, and strategic foresight.
At Carat Industries LTD., we are positioned to be the catalyst for this transformation. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to accelerate Africa's growth by providing tailored, multi-sector consulting and development services that enable international businesses to succeed in Africa, while helping African companies refine their processes for sustainable success.
Who We Are
Carat Industries is a global, multi-sector consulting and development firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with strong local partnerships in Abuja, Nigeria. Our vision is to transform the economic and business landscape of Africa by connecting international companies with Africa’s emerging markets and unlocking the continent’s potential for innovation, growth, and sustainable development.
We pride ourselves on our ability to bring the world to Africa and Africa to the world, providing deep local insights and unmatched expertise across sectors such as real estate, infrastructure, renewable energy, agriculture, technology, and more.
What We Do
Carat Industries offers a comprehensive range of services that empower businesses to navigate Africa’s dynamic environment and achieve their strategic objectives. Our offerings are grouped into four core areas:
1. Market Entry Strategy
Entering a new market can be a daunting task, especially in Africa’s diverse and rapidly evolving economies. Carat Industries provides end-to-end market entry solutions to help international companies launch successfully.

2. Risk Management & Consulting
Africa’s markets offer incredible potential but also come with unique risks. Our risk management and consulting services are designed to help businesses anticipate, mitigate, and respond to various challenges, whether they are political, economic, or operational. We deliver in-depth risk assessments, crisis management planning, and strategies that enable businesses to thrive in even the most volatile markets.
