7th Biennial U.S.A - Africa Business Summit
// August 20th, 2009 // Africa, Economy
The African continent continues to show potential as a leading foreign direct investment destination for American businesses, despite the economic downturn nations around the globe are currently experiencing.
According to the IMF, Africa is still expected to maintain a positive growth rate of 3.4% for 2009, an impressive achievement for the continent. The continent is seeing increasingly higher levels of investment in industries such as infrastructure, financing, tourism, agribusiness, health, and energy.
If you want your business to reach beyond your wildest expectations be sure to explore investments in some of the world’s key emerging markets. Partnerships between U.S. and African businesses will be formed, during The Corporate Council on Africa’s (CCA) 2009 U.S.-Africa Business Summit. Businesses of all sizes, representing various industries will be in attendance, eager to find new opportunities to grow and positively impact their bottom line.
There will be over 1,500 of the private and public sector’s top leaders in attendence to discuss opportunities in Africa, the very place where strategic business deals will be taking place. Taking Africa to the next level. You wont want to miss out on this opportunity!
I will be attending tentatively to live-blog/tweet the whole event.
