The IT-promotion
of Africa
Most African nations are not yet well-known offshore
destinations, and many promotional activities
will be needed. Organizing business missions
to Africa is an effective way to generate publicity.
We are planning to organize an IT- and BPO-studytour to
South-Africa (14 -
21 November 2009). The focus will be on software
development, administrative and financial services and call centers. During this visit, we will also take part at an
international outsourcing conference, organized by ITC (United Nations) and with
delegations from various African countries. Information about these topics has
been attached as
well.
It will be the first time for us to organize
a public IT-
and BPO-studytour to
South-Africa, and we are inviting partners and sponsors to
join us, in order to make this unique mission a successful
event.
