BELGIUM UNIZO International through Project Go North is inviting the business community in Malawi to attend a one day mini fair in Brussels. Over 500 Flemish entrepreneurs will participate. “Go North” is a new project for Small and Medium Enterprises run by UNIZO-International/Euro Info Centre with the support of the Government of Flanders, Belgium. The project aims at stimulating entrepreneurship in South-Africa, Mozambique and Malawi, the three countries on which the Flemish Policy makers are focusing their efforts with regards to international cooperation. It is not easy for entrepreneurs in these three countries to find business partners for their products in the European Union, let alone in Flanders. It is therefore important that they find support through knowledge from several fields in their search for experts and entrepreneurs from Flanders. The Malawi Confederation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry is the coordinating partner for this project. It is therefore inviting those companies that have interest in doing business with Flanders, Belgium and the rest of European Union to contact Ms Edna Chamgwera, Membership Development Manager on 09 843 289 for more information.
