Exporta’s 3rd Annual Africa Trade and Investment Financing Conference is an international event attended by the senior decision-makers of the Trade and Export industry.

Africa has always been the place to do high-margin trade finance business. However, with commodity prices so volatile and the international corporations occupied with managing their haemorrhaging balance sheets - now is perfect time for confident domestic entrepreneurs to jump onto the African bandwagon.

With a consistent year on year growth in average GDP, the continent represents the final frontier for intrepid investors looking or long term gains. This means a flurry of activity across many countries and a multitude of commodities. Moreover, the return to traditional banking like trade, structured commodity and export finance mean that deals are becoming bankable that were not just a year ago.

This conference looks at the opportunities that the current climate is creating, and the challenges that are still discouraging potential risk-takers from entering the fray.

The event offers unrivalled networking opportunities for delegates culminating in a wine-tasting reception. Delegates attend from all over Africa, as well as from Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Topical issues which will be discussed during the conference:

• Reviewing the geo-political climate across the nations – where is the best place for FDI
• The impact of the credit crunch on African trade deals
• Providing new liquidity and risk mitigation through Africa’s local banking network
• The growth of Agribusiness and other non-commodity exports
• How can regular export finance deal-flow take off in Africa?
• China and the emergence of South-South trade
• Industry analysis of the mining, soft commodities, oil & gas, and telecoms sectors
• Taking a regional approach to trade logistics and infrastructure development
