There is a Foreign and Direct Iinvestment Conference in Kenya on the 12/05. I hope a Range/Consort Rep is going.

"Africa in general and East Africa in particular, offers many opportunities for the enterprising international investor.However competition for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is high - and global. It is therefore important that business professionals, governmental decision makers and key technical support staff, including lawyers, accountants and bankers, have a strong understanding of the critical issues that affect Foreign Direct Investment into the region.

This intensive seminar will enhance thinking on the strategic way forward; providing delegates with the practical skills and transaction oriented advice needed to attract quality investment.

Delegates will be taken through the thinking process of Multi-National Corporations, examining issues key to them and discussing the opportunities and obstacles to doing business in various jurisdictions.The course will analyse existing mechanisms for attracting and retaining FDI and how best to use them, providing a basis for understanding and improvement in a dynamic and highly competitive environment."
