President Jakaya Kikwete will join other African Leaders in London in October 2014 to meet with global investors and project developers at the inaugural Global African Investment Summit.
The Global African Investment Summit is designed specifically to present global investors with bankable projects in Africa. "The aim is to catalyse investment into Africa through a trusted forum that focuses on real opportunities", said Paul Sinclair, the Director of the Global African Investment Summit.
The summit will provide an opportunity for representatives of some of the biggest asset managers and pension funds who are looking to increase their exposure to Africa's emerging markets, to meet President Kikwete and other African Leaders.
"If you want to attract the world's best investors, you have to profile your country on the world stage. London as a global financial hub, presents the perfect location for African governments to meet and discuss with investors from across the globe", Sinclair added.
President Kikwete will be joined by the Presidents of Rwanda, Uganda and Ghana as well as former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo.
The summit will provide the opportunity for the government to attract investors into key sectors including agribusiness, power, natural resources and transport infrastructure. For Tanzania, this is likely to include profiling of projects such as the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor and the Big Results Now (BRN) initiative.
"Investors from across the world will be looking at these projects and African governments will be seeking those partners who can bring the most value to their countries in terms of funds, expertise, technology and job creation. Leveraging on the power of the global market creates a win-win for African governments seeking to secure maximum benefits for their countries", Sinclair said.
