To coincide with the French Presidency of the European Union, EMRC International will host the Africa Finance & Investment Forum 2008 in Paris, 7- 9 December. It will focus on the latest investment and financing opportunities on the African continent. The target audience is all who look for viable business opportunities in Africa as well as those from the continent who wish to collaborate in such projects.
