It is possible to invest in the development of micro-power plants based on solar or wind energy, or bio-based fuels.

The water sector also provides countless opportunities particularly in terms of treatment and purification of water.

Banking and Finance

Most Congolese banks are not only poorly integrated into global markets, but very little finance for productive investment in the long term in the country hence creating room for investment in the sector.

Telecommunications and ICT

The domestic supply in Information Technology and Communication (ICT) has so far considerable limitations that hinder the development of the sector and private investment. Access to the Internet is essentially limited to the largest cities (Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire) with costs of materials and particularly exorbitant connection.

Pending the outcome of the proposed optical fiber, the only means of access to the Internet are based on current satellite access with relay-based wireless local loop (wimax and wifi), or by switched telephone network (PSTN) Congo Telecom, and secondarily by the GPRS via mobile phone networks.
