One stop shop for building joint ventures and promoting investment opportunities
As commercial relations continue to grow with many African economies, an increasing number of American firms are recognizing the opportunities on the continent for mutually beneficial business partnerships and investments. The key to unlocking these opportunities is to identify financing, strong partnerships and to create valuable and bankable projects. This "push" is clearly seen in Cameroon where the United States was the # 1 investor in 2006.
The Investment Forum: Projects & Finance is a yearly business forum held in Washington D.C. focused on presenting Cameroonian investment opportunities to US businessmen and women. This forum consists of presentations by US Government Agencies focused on encouraging foreign domestic investment by providing project finance and facilitating trade. These agencies include; Export Import Bank of the United States, Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), United States Trade & Development Agency (USTDA) and the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA).
What is the Goal of IFPF?
The goal of the IFPF is to be the “one stop shop for building joint ventures and promoting investment opportunities” IFPF will also strive to streamline foreign direct investment (FDI) through project identification, development and finance.
