Oceania – Building a Sustainable Investment Promotion Strategy for Small Economies

9 and 10 March 2010, Auckland, New Zealand

As the world emerges from the global economic crisis, this conference is your opportunity to debate, discuss and challenge the changes implanted in the international investment system and how they relate to small economies.

It will bring together a global panel of senior government officials, international leaders, investment promotion agencies and key influencers from academia. A series of stimulating panel discussions will follow the welcome by WAIPA President Alessandro Teixeira.

The interactive programme promises a stimulating forum, with key themes including:

• The economic outlook for the nations of the Pacific Region
• Creating an appropriate environment to encourage the growth of FDI inflows
• Capturing the value of unique natural assets to encourage investment in sustainable tourism
• Feeding FDI opportunities through tourism and associated infrastructure development

Come to the WAIPA Oceania Regional Forum 2010 and contribute to this vital discussion.
