It is our great pleasure to announce and kindly invite you to take a look at the agenda of the activities that are going to be held this year in the investment promotion field. Those events are the selection of the recommended initiatives that we would suggest WAIPA members and all IPAs to attend.
The list of the activities includes training events, webinars, conferences, roundtables and panel discussions that will be organized by WAIPA, alone or in coordination with partner organizations for investment agencies to take more active role in both global and regional events.
WAIPA as the umbrella organization of the IPAs around the globe works closely with its Consultative Committee members, Steering Committee members and other partners to develop, organize and partner in different programs and projects in order to keep the importance of the key role played by IPAs.
Kindly note that there are also other activities in the planning stage that are not yet included . The calendar will be updated throughout the year accordingly.
In case if you are a WAIPA member and would like to propose and/or organize an event in collaboration with WAIPA, you may get in touch with Ms. Eva Salamon Kaplan, Communication Specialist at [email protected]
We as WAIPA are committed to keep providing the added value for the benefits of our members and are exited to welcome you all to this year’s events.
