A thriving market of untapped opportunity, North Africa is one of the recent success stories within global trade, with inward investment into the region having grown exponentially following a series of reforms by governments looking to maximise their competitive edge. Recognising the enormous benefits provided by doing business in North Africa, Exporta returns to Cairo in November 2010 for its 3rd Annual North Africa Trade & Investment Conference.

Now extended to two days, the conference will address the key trade and investment issues within the region, as the growing economies of Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Libya all open up to greater global integration. Nowhere was this more evident than during last year's conference, which welcomed an official Asian delegation of some 40 business leaders. This year's event will again stress the importance of global trade flows, particularly in terms of non-OECD (south-south) trade.

Leading issues to be discussed will include:

• How has regulatory liberalisation aided recent increases in trade volumes?
• Challenges, opportunities and threats within Egyptian trade
• Working capital and cash management challenges within the marketplace
• Risk appetite: Changing priorities in an evolving landscape
• Corporate case studies and sector profiles
• Bridging trade boundaries: Strategies for the creation of regional trade hubs
• Reassessing North Africa’s capital investment appeal
• The growth of Islamic finance and adoption of Shariah-compliant financing models
• Expanding the remit of multilaterals in protecting emerging market trade growth
