Come and learn from representatives from various countries such as Algeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, and Tunisia who will tell you about market opportunities in their countries and engage participants in discussions about specific areas of investments. There will also be the opportunity to network with current investors and consultants who would share their experiences and knowledge of the region.
