Webinar – 30.06 - Doing Business in Tunisia in Times of COVID-19 and Beyond
Foreign direct investment in Tunisia has recorded growth rates of over 20 per cent in the past years and Tunisia is praised for its good investment climate as part of the G20 Compact with Africa Initiative. In addition, export-oriented companies experience tax benefits and since 2011 the German commitment has tripled. With COVID-19 also affecting the Tunisian economy, however, the question arises how joint strategies can be developed to successfully continue on a path of cooperation and mutual win-win relationships.
This webinar will therefore give an overview over the current situation around COVID-19 in Tunisia and the response of the Tunisian government to the outbreak. In addition, it will highlight business opportunities in selected sectors in Tunisia, explain how COVID-19 will affect doing business in these areas and showcase examples of German companies that have successfully done business in Tunisia before and during COVID-19.

Business Mission to Djibouti by Eastern Africa Association
Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa, is a major gateway connecting global trade routes to landlocked countries in East Africa including Ethiopia. The country’s International Free Trade Zone (DIFTZ) is already enhancing domestic growth and attracting a growing number of international companies, only one year on from its launch. There are already over 80 companies signed up to the zone, from the trade and logistics sectors. These companies come from around the world, including Ethiopia, Europe, the Middle East and China. With the Djibouti International Hotel and the Djibouti International Tower inaugurated last month, and the upcoming connection to Doraleh multipurpose port, yet more international investors and businesses are expected to join soon.
The Djibouti Damerjog Industrial Development (DDID) is also under development and will create complementary opportunities alongside DIFTZ. DDID will include the country’s second oil terminal, as well as a zone dedicated to heavy industry. The work is scheduled for completion next year.
The Eastern Africa Association is planning to organise and lead a Business Mission to Djibouti from February 24th-26th 2020. This will be open to anyone who is interested in joining what promises to be a very interesting visit, hosted mainly by the Port and Free Zones Authority, with the confirmed support from the EU Head of Delegation. It will be followed the next 2 days (February 27th and 28th) by political and economic briefings on Ethiopia. Please contact the EBCAM office for further details

Invest Africa upcoming event 2019
The Importance of Governance and Business Ethics with Brand South Africa - February 26, 2019
Invest Africa and Brand SA are delighted to invite you to our Members event on ‘The Importance of Governance and Business Ethics with Brand SA’ , looking at the ongoing consideration of corporate governance developments in South Africa and its importance for its continued development in the country and the region.
Brand South Africa was established in August 2002 to help create a positive and compelling brand image for South Africa.
At that time, the world was unsure about what to think of South Africa, with many different messages being sent out by various sources. This did very little to build the country’s brand and it was evident that to attract tourism and investment there was a need to co-ordinate marketing initiatives to make them more effective.
This led to the creation of Brand South Africa, whose main objective is the marketing of South Africa through the Brand South Africa campaign.
There are many benefits to having a consolidated brand image, with the most important being that a consistent Brand South Africa message creates strategic advantages in terms of trade and tourism for the country in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
