Program 2013

The topic for this year’s Summit is “Breaking down Barriers: How to Succeed on the African Continent”. There are always barriers when investing in new markets, but we hope you will leave this conference with good ideas and practical insights on how they can be overcome. And, not least, that you will be more inspired to invest and open business in the many growth markets of Africa.
