Welcome
The Common Market for Eastern and Southern African States (COMESA) is Africa’s largest
economic community, with a market size estimated at over 500 million consumers by
2015. With its strategic location, economic and geographic diversity, it offers
unparalleled opportunities for African and International investors.
Bountiful in natural resources and advantageously placed on high traffic trading
routes, the Suez Canal, Red Sea and Indian Ocean, the true potential for investment
in COMESA is yet to be fully realised.
This top-level two-day forum offers you the opportunity to update your knowledge
of COMESA's business environment and investment climate.
The event is specifically designed to promote dialogue and action between investors,
business leaders and senior policy makers, to create the necessary framework and
drive investment opportunities and growth in COMESA and Africa.
It is a unique platform for over 500 industry leaders to network and engage one-on-one
with Ministers from the 19 member states.
