Linklaters advises Tassec Investment Holdings Africa on the equity investment of Africa50 in Scanning Systems

Linklaters has advised Tassec Investment Holdings Africa, reference shareholder of Scanning Systems, on the equity investment of Africa50 in Scanning Systems, a company specialising in the design, financing and implementation of infrastructure projects in the transport sector.

This investment will support Scanning Systems to build juxtaposed checkpoints in several countries of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), while delivering efficient border management with modern facilities and tools, facilitate transit and increase traffic across the borders of Africa. The partnership with Africa50 will also create the necessary infrastructure for intra-African trade and achieve the objectives of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), namely the creation of a unified market to stimulate the economic development of the continent.

The Linklaters team in Paris was led by Energy and Infrastructure partner Bertrand Andriani and Corporate M&A counsels Thomas Pontacq and Mehdi Boumedine.
