EICN Africa in-person event: Success And Those Who Thrived In A Tough Economic Climate

Event Details

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming event, "Success and Those Who Thrived in a Tough Economic Climate," proudly sponsored by Strate!

Over the past fifteen years, South African firms have faced significant challenges, including a low-growth economy and numerous domestic and international crises. Despite these adversities, some companies have not only survived but thrived.

Join us as we hear from business leaders of these firms who have successfully navigated risk, devised new strategies and created value in tough times. In this insightful session, we will explore their strategies for building, growing, and expanding into new markets and product spaces. This event presents a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights and lessons on finding growth in our local economy.

We look forward to your presence at this insightful and inspiring event.

Please note that this event is limited to senior-level executives and per invitation only. If you are not an existing member of The Economist Intelligence Corporate Network, but would like to learn how you can attend our events, please contact us.
