The Business Council for International Understanding is very pleased to be working with the U.S. Trade and Development Agency to present the West Africa ICT Road Map to Opportunities Conference in Accra, Ghana, July 8-10, 2008. We hope that you will help us reach out to your network of companies that may have an interest in participating in this conference. Attached, please find the conference brochure and registration form that provide the latest information on the conference agenda and delegates.
This conference is an excellent opportunity for U.S. companies in the ICT sector to engage with key stakeholders and decision-makers in the West African region to influence the development of regulatory and legal frameworks that would support a robust telecommunications industry in West Africa. U.S. Businesses will also be able to explore successful strategies for working in the region. Conference highlights include discussions of the key features of the ICT sector in nine West African countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Gabon, Ghana, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone), presentations on the projects and business opportunities in the region and one-on-one private meetings between U.S. company representatives and African government delegates to the conference.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to myself and my colleagues at BCIU with any questions or to forward to us company inquiries.
Very best regards,
Tatiana S. Diykova
