AFRICAN BUSINESS EVENT 6 NOVEMBER 2014 16:00 - 19:00 (Welcome and Drinks from 15:30) Dear Wittenborg Students Wittenborg University is pleased to invite you to our African Business Event on Thursday, 6 November 2014 celebrating the many business opportunities the continent has to offer and featuring a host of inspiring speakers. The Africa Pulse Report published by the World Bank earlier this month states that: “…growth prospects for Africa remain positive and the region’s GDP growth is projected to rise to 5.2% in 2015-16 and 5.3% in 2017.” This is ascribed mainly to public investment in infrastructure, increased agricultural production and expanding services in Africa’s retail, telecom, tourism, transportation and finance sectors. The event will provide you with the latest factual information on investing in Africa, including a presentation by the Netherlands African Business Council (NABC). There will also be plenty of opportunity for you to network with other Dutch companies - some of which are already established in Africa – as well as with members of the African diplomatic community and other stakeholders in Africa.
