The US Africa Business Summit took off today in Gaborone, with over 1,200 delegates registered and the promise of deals being made across various economic sectors. The summits, organised by the Corporate Council on Africa - a trade association focusing on strengthening commercial relationships between the United States and Africa – are the premier platforms for bringing together African heads of state and other senior US and African government officials with top African and American senior business executives.
On Monday, Botswana Investment and Trade Centre CEO, Keletsositse Olebile told media that the organisation is ready to capture the attention of an array of institutional investors seeking to channel capital investments into Botswana. “Our value proposition is simple as we engage investors, pick Botswana as a landing pad for investments, and position Botswana as an investment hub for your capital,” he said.
