TXF MENA: Export, Project & Development Finance 2023 | TXF Limited | 13 March 2023 | The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai, Al Mamsha St - Jumeirah Beach Residence - Dubai - UAE

Welcome to a networking spectacular! We combine forces with our sister brands Proximo & Uxolo for a bumper edition which brings together the Export, Project & Development Finance industries...

Collaboration between Africa and the Middle East has arguably never been greater with many key players looking to reap the benefits of a promising trade corridor between the two regions. Newly formed Middle Eastern ECAs are united by both their desire to bolster exports from the region and by their designs on Africa as a key reciprocal trading market.

Moreover, burgeoning use of Dubai as a trading hub for the Middle East make it a ripe location to gather a deal-hungry attendee list from leading ECAs, exporters, borrowers, EPCs, developers, lenders, investors, ECAs and other key export and project finance players!
