Second U®talk - Run on African Resources
The increase of Foreign Direct Investment in Africa is tremendous. Foreign nations and banks are buying themselves into the natural resources market in Africa.
We will hear the perspectives of business owners, entrepreneurs and development workers from the African continent. How do they view the future of their continent? How do they perceive foreign direct investment? What color and shape do these investments take? And what does it mean for everyday life?
Date: April 12, 2013
Time and Location: 2:00 - 4:00 pm at IMPULSE
Lagerhuisdebat / House of Commons debate on the run on African natural resources by foreign investors
(this session replaces the previously announced panel debate with two entrepreneurs Sola Idowu, Director of AidTrade, and Peter Bronsveld of LeoVallis who, due to change of plans, can not make it to the Netherlands)
