The inaugural Botswana Investment Forum also presents an opportunity to bring investment priorities into focus and encourage discussions around translating available economic opportunities into tangible business activity.

Employment creation and inclusive economic transformation are among the broader objectives associated with the forum, alongside efforts to attract investment and increase private-sector participation in the economy.

By bringing investment-related discussions together on one platform, the forum is expected to contribute to conversations about Botswana’s economic priorities and its position as an investment destination.
