Accra, Feb. 17, 2012
600 participants including Heads of State from the ECOWAS Sub-region and the Commonwealth Member countries are expected to attend this year’s Africa Investment Forum.
The forum is being organized by the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) in collaboration with the Commonwealth Business Council (CBC) and the ECOWAS Commission and is expected to take place in Accra from April 3-4, 2012 at the Accra International Conference Centre.
The forum themed ‘Partnering with ECOWAS to Accelerate Investment into the Sub-region’ will be opened by the President, H.E Prof John Evans Atta Mills.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GIPC, Mr George Aboagye told journalists at a press conference in Accra that the forum would provide an unprecedented opportunity for senior policy-makers, corporate executives, investors and investment promotion agencies to meet and interact through a series of sessions, networking and social exchanges.
The forum comes at a time when Africa is becoming the preferred destination for investment and the soaring number of Emerging Market Funds with African interests.
The forum will have four plenary sessions on regional trade, public private partnerships, agribusiness and food security. The last one will be on small scale enterprises and micro financing.
Other important dignitaries expected at the two-day event will include some Heads of State from the ECOWAS Sub-region and the Commonwealth Member countries, as well as investors from all over the world.
Forms for the forum are available at the GIPC’s office as well as its website www.gipcghana.com
