JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, February 1, 2022/ — Centurion International AG has listed on the Open Market of the Düsseldorf Stock Exchange, marking a historic moment for the firm as it moves to enhance international investment and collaboration within Africa’s diverse economy.

The pan-African energy advisory and legal services company provide a gateway for investors to participate in Africa’s development, with the listing serving to facilitate new business opportunities between Germany and Africa while enhancing transparent corporate governance for the firm’s global activities.

Representing one of Africa’s top legal firms, Centurion International AG is committed to Africa’s economic development.

The firm’s services range from energy and natural resources to infrastructure, transportation, and logistics to telecommunication, media, and technology while covering a myriad of fields including corporate and commercial, regulatory and compliance, tax, and investments services, among many others.

Primarily, the firm serves as a top facilitator in Africa’s energy expansion, working closely with clients to accelerate the successful implementation of energy projects across the continent.

In addition to working with many energy companies globally, Centurion International AG advises many German firms including Lufthansa and Deutsche Post DHL Group.

With the listing, Centurion’s client portfolio is expected to expand significantly while enabling broader access to a large number of ESG compliant co-investment deals not only across gas, but in hydrogen, infrastructure and renewables. Now, the company can extend its network, building an African energy mix and driving the energy transition.

“By listing our shares on the Düsseldorf Stock Exchange, we wish to provide a gateway for investors to participate in Africa’s vast economic upside potential. Further, we seek to tap into German capital markets to finance the acquisition of small and medium-sized advisory firms, independent of our current share price, and thus, increase earnings per share for our investors,” states NJ Ayuk, CEO of Centurion Law Group.
