We are pleased to support the management team by giving them access to Amethis’s networks across Europe, Africa and the Middle East to pursue their international expansion,” said [**Romain Gauvrit**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/romain-gauvrit-3a7475141/?ref=africainvestorreview.com) and [**Nicolas Manardo**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolas-manardo-5b0627a/?ref=africainvestorreview.com), Senior Partners at Amethis. > “This change in our shareholder structure is a real opportunity to further develop our projects and services in France and internationally.
