The FT has teamed-up with the Botswana Export Development and Investment Authority (BEDIA) to produce this wide-angle executive breakfast briefing on sustainable investment in Botswana, with a spotlight trained on education sector investment  both intellectual and financial. 

Botswana is widely regarded as an exception in Africa, managing to avoid the pitfalls usually associated with mineral wealth, and establishing a record of economic and political stability. Over recent decades, the country has enjoyed one of the fastest growth rates of the developing world, rapidly achieving middle-income status, and the highest investment grade rating in Africa.

Attracting foreign investment and encouraging joint venture enterprises between local and foreign investors are some of the key issues that will assist in the transfer of skills and ensure that the private sector plays a pivotal role in the development process.

What are the key investment opportunities for Botswana over the next five years? And what are the key obstacles to be overcome? Attend this high-level briefing to hear from and network with a senior delegation from the Botswana Government, country experts and veteran investors with a long history of doing business in Botswana.
