ENTERPRISE FLORIDA, INC. JOIN AN EXPORT TRADE MISSION TO

KENYA AND TANZANIA | NOVEMBER 2-9, 2018

Dear International Business Leader,

I am pleased to invite you to participate in Enterprise Florida’s Export Trade Mission to Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania from November 2-9, 2018.

Enterprise Florida (EFI) will lead a business delegation of Florida manufacturers and services providers to facilitate business cooperation between the Florida delegates and their counterparts in East Africa. This trade mission also aims to further trade relations between Florida and two of the largest economies in the East Africa Community (EAC).

Economic growth in East Africa was a robust 5.9 percent in 2017 and is forecast to continue in 2018 and 2019. Kenya has a market-based economy and is generally considered the economic, commercial, financial and logistics hub of East Africa. With 7 percent growth in 2016, Tanzania’s economy expanded quickly, putting it close to the top of the fastest-growing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa. Overall, the partner states that make up the EAC – a regional intergovernmental organization consisting of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda – registered 6.2 percent growth in 2004-2013.

Florida companies’ world-class goods and services have a significant competitive advantage and are well-suited for the types of industries being pursued by businesses in East Africa. Enterprise Florida is collaborating with the U.S. Commercial Service (USCS) in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam to coordinate the mission and facilitate B2B meetings for the Florida participants. Additionally, mission participants will benefit from networking events and meeting contacts outside of the scheduled B2B appointments.

I encourage you to join me on this important mission as we continue the work of creating jobs in Florida through the promotion of international trade.

Sincerely,

Peter Antonacci President & CEO, Enterprise Florida, Inc.Florida Secretary of Commerce
