  • Education
  • Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)
  • Digital Infrastructure
  • Financial Services
  • Healthcare

While firmly grounded in African markets, Admaius is increasingly tapping into global partnerships, including with capital providers in the Middle East. Mr. Chigwende described Dubai as a highly accessible and business-forward environment that supports cross-continental capital alignment.

“The environment here is welcoming, and we see strong appetite for Pan-African exposure,” he noted.

“Our goal is to embed ourselves more deeply in this region while continuing to invest in Africa’s future.”

He also emphasized the unique value of elite networks like the NEO Royal Executive Club:

“What makes this platform so powerful is the quality of the people. Conversations like these open the door to long-term relationships—and long-term returns.”

The participation of Mr. Chigwende at the NREC pre-launch reinforces the Club’s position as a hub for influential leaders shaping the future of business, diplomacy, and investment across continents.
