Urbanization in Africa, Investing in New Cities 2011

Held annually on the Cote d’Azur adjacent to Cannes, Investing in New Cities is the invitation only Africa networking event for the international urbanization, construction, real estate, finance and legal community.

The Investing in New Cities Initiative brings together current and future partners looking to create Africa’s cities of tomorrow.

Why this event?
Investing in New Cities offers a unique opportunity for those specifically interested in African development to exchange new ideas, share thoughts on the current opportunities and challenges, and build new business networks. Now is the time to invest in Africa, experts say, as 9 of the 15 countries with the highest 5 year growth rate are in Africa and the
continent is urbanizing at a higher rate than India. Africa is becoming too big for investors to ignore.

Format
Investing in New Cities brings together a specially invited audience of senior representatives from corporates, financial institutions and investors, as well as business and legal advisers. Over the day and a half program, participants will
share their thoughts and experiences on investments in Africa. Instead of formal speeches, there will be a series of expert briefing sessions within a highly participatory Question & Answer format
