Banjul: The Investor Forum (ICDT Invest Days)
In anticipation of the next OIC Islamic Conference, scheduled to take place in Banjul 🇬🇲 on May 4 and 5 2024, the Gambia Investment and Export Promotion Agency (GIEPA) has drawn up an ambitious program. May 2 and 3, 2024 will be dedicated to an Investor Forum aimed at catalyzing the launch of infrastructure projects in The Gambia.
This event offers a crucial platform for promoters wishing to invest in the country. Indeed, partnership agreements will be available to facilitate these investments. This initiative is made all the more attractive by the Gambian government’s clear commitment to provide a “sovereign guarantee” for identified development projects.
The opportunities offered by this forum are considerable. Investors will have the chance to explore a range of sectors, from energy and transport to information and communication technologies.
