Between 16 and 20 February 2015 a Trade and Investment Mission is taking place to Kenya and Tanzania.

If your company is looking at increasing trade and investment into these two countries then the Department of Trade and Industry (dti) invites you to join them on this trip.

According to the dti this trip is an ideal platform for South African companies who would like to export value added products and services and for companies who are looking for investment opportunities in the East Africa region.

The target sectors for this mission include:
• Agro-processing;
• Infrastructure (rail, road and telecoms);
• Built environment professionals (consulting engineers, civil engineering
contractors, quantity surveying and architects);
• Mining and capital equipment;
• ICT and Electro-technical;
• Chemicals, Plastics and Pharmaceuticals; and
• Energy (oil, gas and renewables)

Companies will be screened and selected in line with the Export Market and Investment Assistance (EMIA) guidelines and market requirements, which are explained in the EMIA guidelines document.

For the approved companies, the dti will provide:
• A subsistence allowance of R2, 300 per day; and
• An economy class return airfare to a maximum of R17, 000.
