Established in 1989, Cross-border Information (CbI) has striven to become a reliable and trustworthy provider of information and intelligence on Africa and the Middle East.

Today, we provide clients with information, insight and analysis through our business intelligence services – due diligence, political risk analysis, market entry studies and consultancy – as well as through our specialistAfrican Energy Consultancy and our online news and analysis services African Energy and Gulf States News (GSN).

Our core capabilities comprise a team of regional specialists, a continually maintained network of in-country sources and researchers, and a corporate archive of information on Africa and the Middle East built up over the last 35 years.

This means we can provide you with a depth of knowledge and experience in these regions unavailable from most other business intelligence providers. CbI is managed by its directors, most of whom are regional specialists.
