Opportunities are expanding in the East African Community, which has achieved strong growth in the past 2 decades. Since 2005 its member states have grown faster on average than the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa, with annual per capita growth averaging close to 4 percent. The First Annual East African Business Summit and Expo is intended to bring together the five East African countries to showcase what opportunities for investment exist in the respective countries and also give companies from East Africa an opportunity to grow business linkages with other companies so as to be able to have access to markets. The event will cover all aspects of trade in the region and aims at attracting businessmen and women operating in East Africa and those planning on gaining access. It will explore opportunities and challenges of doing business and investing in East Africa as a region and provide a networking platform for potential investors to meet with the key players in the region with a total estimated population of over 100 Million people.
The Summit and Expo will provide a well structured networking opportunity between key players and stake holders in the region through the various breakaway events that will be organized and presented to participants. The expo will provide a platform for exhibitors and visitors to explore what business opportunities exist in the region as a whole. Face to face interaction will therefore be an integral part of the Summit and Expo.” This is a great initiative to showcase East Africa as a viable investment and business tourism destination”
Event delegates will include:
1. Investment/Tourism Authorities of the 5 East African Countries
2. SADC companies operating in the East African region
3. Business Men and Women considering and looking for investment opportunities in the region
4. Chamber of Commerce groups
5. General Public
About the Summit:
The East African Business Summit and Expo 2012 is the first of its kind on the African continent to solely dedicate an entire summit and expo to stake holders in the East African region and promote the East African region as a preferred and desirable investment destination. It is a great opportunity to explore business and develop business linkages with Africa as a whole. The Summit and Expo will also act as a bridge between private sectors both from East Africa and elsewhere.
