The company has achieved steady growth. Sunsia has developed into a professionally run business with reliable and strong partners, representatives and offices all over the African continent. Both in Africa and in Europe, Sunsia has extensive networks in the private sector, and a sound working relation with public authorities.

Both in The Netherlands and in Africa, Sunsia involves several highly qualified professionals.

The History of Sunsia goes back to 2001, when founder Mahamadi Kaboré started match making activities between Africa and Europe on a project basis.

In January 2002, the independent private company Sunsia BV was started and registered, making Sunsia into the first Dutch professional services firm purely specialized in Africa. Founding partners were the Dutch investment company Rovalue Capital Africa and the Dutch private business network SMO. The input of Sunsia’s founding partners ensured a head start in the dutch private sector and in the (international) financial sector.
