Thanks Daniel, both your ideas for concrete enabling support facilities sound spot-on to me. Will keep them in mind and share them with export enablers in my network. In case promising synergies arise, I will let you know.
One question on the Asia mentor model: do you think established Asian exporters in the same industry would genuinely be willing to mentor potential African competitors? I wonder whether market size is sufficient to remove competitive hesitation, and whether the Asia-Africa context gap might make experienced African exporters from comparable industries (not exactly the same) maybe a better-motivated and more contextually relevant alternative.
