About Larive International B.V.
Larive International is a consulting and business development group focused on helping organisations succeed in emerging markets. Its website presents the company as a partner for Western-headquartered businesses seeking to enter, expand in, or improve operations across Asia, Africa, and Central and Eastern Europe.
The firm combines local presence with international perspective, positioning itself as a bridge between foreign companies and complex local market environments. Larive says it works through a network of locally rooted experts and entrepreneurs, and that its approach is built around practical, hands-on support rather than conventional advisory alone.
Core Values
- Think global, be flexible: Larive emphasizes combining a global mindset with local expertise, and adapting quickly to different market and cultural contexts.
- Dare to explore: The company presents itself as entrepreneurial and adventurous, with a focus on opening doors and building networks in unfamiliar markets.
- Get things done: Larive stresses ownership, proactivity, and hands-on execution, with an emphasis on practical solutions and delivery.
- Align corporate success with public impact: The firm says it seeks to connect commercial strategy with broader societal and policy goals, especially in emerging markets.
Unique Aspects
- Deep local footprint: Larive says it operates in more than 25 countries across Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Turkey, and Sub-Saharan Africa, supported by deeply embedded local teams.
- Franchise-based model: The company traces its origins to a franchise-style structure managed by local entrepreneurs, which it says helps combine local rootedness with international coordination.
- Emerging-market specialization: Larive focuses specifically on helping Western-headquartered companies navigate emerging markets, rather than serving as a generalist consultancy.
- Public-private project experience: The firm highlights experience with large-scale partnerships and PPP-style projects, presenting this as a differentiator in complex market-development work.
- Regional partnerships: Known news and site references indicate local partner representation in several markets, including Bangladesh, Kenya, and Nigeria, reinforcing its network-based operating model.
