Africa Rising - Opportunities for Victorian METS Companies
Africa is a continent of opportunity and challenge in almost equal measure, but for those companies prepared to put in the work, the rewards are multi-fold.
The webinar will be joined by Linton Tarisai of the Renstar Group who will update you on his copper projects in Zambia and Zimbabwe, with a special emphasis on ESG.
And our Vic METS Export Hub Lead and international business specialist, Collins Rex, will examine doing business in Africa, particularly in light of the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
