Washington, D.C. — Appropriately titled "Africa: Entering the Door to Opportunities," The Corporate Council on Africa 2007 U.S.-Africa Business Summit will provide a forum for some of the world's top global business leaders to discuss trade and investment opportunities in Africa, best practices, and how best to increase trade and investment in ways that will help engender sustainable growth on the continent.
Being held November 14-16, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, the U.S.-Africa Business Summit will include sector-specific plenary sessions, workshops, business networking opportunities, and a two-day trade expo where businesses will showcase their products, services, and capabilities to potential buyers and customers throughout Africa.
