Guinea FTZ and Ports Conference
Overview
Free trade zones, Seaports and Industrial parks have made a phenomenal contribution to the revenue base of many governments and communities across the Globe. In this Conference, we will explore how the Guinea economy can use the maritime sector as the major driver of economic growth, increase its Industrial capacity, Job creation and revenue for government and citizens through the Development of Sea port with FTZ and development of Industrial clusters focused on Agriculture, Mining, IT, manufacturing, etc across different administrative regions.
Our focus sessions will be on the master plan for Regional economic Integration between Guinea, Sahel countries and other West African countries. The Industrial clusters in the neighboring countries can produce and trade between themselves in goods and services with comparative advantage. Trade links by land and Sea will be examined for further development prospects. Financing solutions and partnership options for government, groups, diasporas and companies will also be discussed in the focus session. The exhibition section will be taking place in parallel at a nearby hall.
