Dear Business Leader, We look forward to welcoming you to the African Investor (Ai) Presidential-CEO Investment Summit, held in association with the African Union Commission (AUC) and The NEPAD Agency. As a pre-qualified private sector invitee, you will be among a very select mix of global and African business leaders and investors that will engage African Heads of State and Government on investment opportunities, and the trade and investment policies required to attract and retain capital into Africa’s growth sectors. The Summit will also convene a dialogue between African Heads of State participating in the Presidential Infrastructure Champions Initiative (PICI) and the Leadership Council of the African Union’s newly-established Continental Business Network (CBN), that will focus on how to develop and finance critical regional infrastructure projects in Africa. This CEO-to-Head of State-level, invitation-only forum will be held annually each January during the African Union Heads of State and Government Summit at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The recommendations emerging from the Summit will shape the private sector development and investment climate agenda for African governments, championed at the Presidential level with National Governments, Regional Economic Communities, NEPAD and the African Union Commission. To confirm your attendance, contact Precious Nkandu (pnkandu@africainvestor.com) or Tatenda Mutasa (tmutasa@africainvestor.com , +27 11 783 2431).
