With many of the economies exceeding growth rates of 7%, West Africa is fast establishing itself as a key destination for trade and investment. Nigeria was recently identified as a key MINT economy and with its vast and highly educated population, has once again become a significant investment prospect for UK companies and has set a vision to be amongst the top twenty economies in the world by 2020.
Recognising the growth potential and opportunities for UK companies trading or considering trading or investing in emerging economies, Hallmark Solicitors has organised an exciting 2-Day Event to be held 9th-10th October 2014 once again will shine the spotlight on West Africa as the fastest growing region on the African Continent and its importance to the UK economy.

This Event is supported by UKTI, UK Export Finance and the Department for International Development (DfID).
