JAPAN-Africa Public-Private Economic Forum Side Event "Japan-Mauritius: Moving Africa Up the Value Chain" will be held online on 15 December

The Economic Development Board Mauritius, in collaboration with the Japan International Cooperation Agency and the Embassy of Japan in Mauritius, is pleased to invite you to a Webinar on “Japan-Mauritius moving Africa up the Value Chain”.

JICA is conducting a survey on the business environment of Mauritius, which provides connectivity to African countries and a stable business environment, as one of the gateways to attract private investment for the development of Africa. Based on the survey, we will discuss the possibilities of Mauritius, local needs, and issues in the first half of this seminar.

In the second half, we also have time for discussions and questions with local stakeholders. Although it is a busy period of time, we look forward to your participation.
