A pan-African business platform founded in 2015 by Nicole Sulu, bringing together the economic decision-makers of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the wider region around a single conviction: turning potential into strategy.
Makutano was born in 2015 from an unambiguous observation: the growth potential of an exceptional region was stifled by the limited interactions between the various players in the Congo's economic ecosystem.
For founder Nicole Sulu, the solution lay in a platform uniting the country's economic champions, public decision-makers and international partners around a collective strategic intelligence. Eleven years on, the network has transformed the way Africa talks business.
From 2015 to 2025, Makutano has woven eleven gatherings, welcomed six heads of state and brought together the decision-makers who shape the Congolese economy.
