The African-Asian Society invites you to attend a presentation on Angola's fastest growing economomy: JV opportunities for South African businesses

Presented by Mr. Roger Ballard-Tremeer

South Africa – Angola Chamber of Commerce

Angola is experiencing unprecedented levels of accelerated growth. The country’s estimated gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate for 2007 was 16.3 percent. On the back of its booming oil industry, new funds are now being pooled into various sectors of the economy. Expertise and technical support is needed for infrastructure development, particularly in the utilities sector. South African companies certainly have experience in this field, but the market is increasingly competitive. What are the joint-venture opportunities for South Africa businesses? An authority on the subject is Mr. Ballard-Tremeer, Honorary Chief Executive of the South Africa Angola Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Ballard-Tremeer is an Angola Business Environment specialist with a background in diplomacy and the promotion of trade and investment links with Angola.
