INTRODUCTION
Rwanda, a country known for its remarkable resilience and commitment to progress, has embarked on a journey of transformation to overcome its past and build a prosperous future. With a focus on inclusive growth and sustainable development, Rwanda has identified key sectors such as Manufacturing, Agro-processing, Tourism, Real Estate and Construction, ICT, Mining, Energy, Transport, and Logistics as drivers of economic growth.
In line with this vision, Saratoga Solutions Company is proposing to partner with the Rwandan Government to host a 7 Days Event tagged ‘Kigali Summer Fest’ which will commence with an Investors’ Forum themed “Creating Sustainable Economy in the Face of Global Depression: New Ideas, New Initiatives in the African Economy”. This forum is designed to gather investors from all over the world in a conference in Kigali, to discuss and explore the possibilities of investing in Rwanda, which according to the AfDB is one of the fastest growing African economies.
The Kigali Summer Fest will also feature a plethora of other fun activities aimed at positively engaging the myriad of visitors already in the country as well as driving more tourism traffic to Kigali, with a view to making the country a tourist destination of choice.
