Strategic West African Market Entry
As part of its international growth strategy, Neutron has made significant investments to establish business operations in Côte d'Ivoire, marking the company's first major expansion into the African continent. This strategic move positions Neutron to deliver comprehensive IT services and solutions across West Africa's rapidly growing technology sector.
"Our participation in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce/Africa Business Center delegation provided invaluable insights into the tremendous opportunities available in West Africa's digital transformation landscape, increasing adoption of AI-powered solutions, and promising efforts to expand opportunities for local talent to enter the Technology industry," said Brandon Lockett, CEO of Neutron Engineering. "The relationships we built and the market intelligence we gathered during the AmCham Business Summit have been instrumental in shaping our expansion strategy and we look forward to great opportunities for collaboration and expansion."
Championing U.S.-Africa Commercial Engagement
During the delegation, Neutron actively championed U.S. business community policy priorities for enhanced commercial engagement throughout West Africa. The company participated in high-level discussions focused on:
- Strengthening bilateral trade relationships
- Promoting technology transfer and innovation partnerships
- Supporting sustainable economic development initiatives
- Advancing digital infrastructure development across the region
- The use of AI (artificial intelligence) to deliver innovative capabilities
Commitment to Continental Growth
Building on the momentum from the successful delegation, Neutron is committed to expanding its footprint across the African continent. The company's initial focus on Côte d'Ivoire serves as a strategic launching point for broader regional operations, with plans to deliver cutting-edge IT services and solutions that support the continent's digital transformation, enhanced cybersecurity, and expansion of secure critical infrastructure.
"The Africa CEO Forum and our bilateral engagements demonstrated the immense potential for U.S. technology companies to contribute meaningfully to Africa's economic growth," added Brandon Lockett. "We're excited to be at the forefront of this partnership, bringing our technical expertise and innovative solutions to support local businesses and communities."
Neutron has selected Mr. Pierre Tadem as the Operations Chief for Neutron West Africa. Mr. Tadem is a native of Cameroon, joined Neutron in 2022, and spends most of his time supporting large Healthcare IT-related initiatives. "For me, being here is nostalgic.
