... To get To The Point on:
Cross-Border Trading Opportunities that SMEs are missing out on…    
The unique and diverse cultures within the African continent has always fascinated the world and with the “New Africa” emerging, once again an opportunity to showcase Africa’s colourful, diverse and unique offering presents itself.
Africa’s participation in the global economy is becoming a reality for most entrepreneurs on a daily basis. Africa’s global reach is gaining momentum and entrepreneurship beyond the borders could be an accelerator for entry into the global markets.
This exciting and thought provoking session will be an interactive panel discussion with expert guest speakers including:
  • Azim Omar, Partner at EY
  • Gamuchirai Mutezo, Chief Operations Officer – SEA Africa: Linking Business to African Markets
  • Paul Bennett Bishop, Project Manager of the JCCI’s Global Business Accelerator
The session will cover and unpack the following points:
  • Understanding the dynamics of trading across borders   
  • What are the key growth drivers/fundamentals of cross-border trading?
  • Understanding the African economy trends, a macro-economic view
  • Key aspects to prepare for e.g. different cultures, politics, policies and local transport
  • Costs and risks associated with doing business in unfamiliar markets, and how to mitigate them
  • Practical insights to help businesses implement these tips and techniques
You will also be given time to ask specific questions related to your business situation so be there
