On behalf of the City and
Financial, with the support of UKTI and many organisations “SOC Libya Ltd is
one of them”, we are pleased to invite you to attend of one this year largest
events in the UK that will take place on 14th May 2012 at London’s
Park Hotel. (http://bit.ly/IzuX5Y)
The event will provide UK companies
with a solid base to explore the potential of the Libyan market and will lead
to support the development of the country. It will also be an excellent chance
for Libyan businessmen, individuals and companies to meet with British
companies in the hope of forming JVs and partnerships.
There will also be a great
number of speakers who will share with you their insight and expertise on the
market and best strategic market entry plans.
The main focus of the
event will be on the followings:
A
Narrowing Window of Opportunity
With the Libyan elections
due in June and contracts already being awarded and/or put out to tender, there
is a rapidly narrowing window of opportunity for British companies to win
business. This point was underscored by Raouf Ghali, Group President, Hill
International when he said: “There are major opportunities from now until
September …. Anyone who wants to be in Libya should be there now. Once the
newly elected Government comes in the speed at which companies will be expected
to go forward will be a very fast pace”
Finding
Local Partners
If, as is expected, the
existing Libyan rules for joint ventures which require 75% of employees to be
local are maintained, then British businesses must be effective in knowing who
they need to develop relations with, as well as knowing which contracts can be
won.
An
A-Z to Winning Business
Winning Business in Libya -
A Practical Guide for UK Companies is designed to be both practical and highly
focused on advising British companies about how they can position themselves so
that they are well placed to win the contracts that will begin to be tendered
after the election. The programme will offer a “what you need to know A-Z”.
The
Political and Security Outlook
Although there are great
opportunities in Libya it would be a mistake not to recognise that the political
and security outlook for the country remains uncertain and that a number of
factors will impact upon the Libyan business environment. These will be
addressed by examining the current political environment and hotspots such as
security considerations
and corruption risks.
