At this seminar, we listen to the experiences of a number of Skåne-based companies, ranging from global TetraPak via middle-sized Samres to small-scale entrepreneurs Emerging Cooking Solutions. We also get information on Africa's economic development from Ellen Hillbom, Associate Professor at Lund University.
The objective of IVA's Programme Council for Africa is to look at possibilities to promote business exchange between Sub-Saharan Africa and Sweden through information-sharing, events and meetings.
