Next Fall will be the Trade Winds Business Development Conference in South Africa from Sept. 16 -18, 2015
Leading up to this event, there will be an eight-part webinar series to prepare participating U.S. companies for a more successful experience during the upcoming Trade Winds - Africa Trade Mission.
As
explained on the U.S. Commercial Services website, U.S. trade to and from
Africa has tripled over the past decade and U.S. exports to Sub-Saharan Africa
now top $21 billion. Africa is home to 7
out of the 10 fastest-growing markets in the world.
The
International Monetary Fund projects Sub-Saharan Africa to grow between 5 and 6
percent each year over the next two years.
Whether
your company is new to this region or is looking to tap into new markets, this
is the ideal launching point for expansion throughout the region. The conference portion will be hosted in
South Africa, during which time you can:
· Participate in a focused
business development conference, highlighting opportunities and challenges in
this extremely dynamic region
· Attend high-visibility business
networking events with leading industry and government officials
· Meet
one-on-one with top African business experts from the U.S. Embassies
and Consulates from the region for the latest trade leads and market
entry strategies
· Find a partner or customer
through screened business-to-business meetings in Angola, Ghana, Mozambique,
South Africa, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, and Tanzania
In addition, you can increase your benefit
by adding one or more additional participating countries to your itinerary. With increasing efforts by ACTIF and other textile partners, this is a conference the fashion industry may well want to attend. To learn more about it, click on the links above.
