For Immediate Release -- Atlanta, Georgia - -  The Carlton-Carew EP  Foundation is sponsoring a film screening and Business Investment Forum, “Africa Investment Horizons,” on Saturday September 6, 2008 from 9:30 a.m. till noon, at Georgia State University, College of Education Room 150, 30 Pryor Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30303.  The joint event highlights the enriching, economic phenomena of connecting entrepreneurs and local businesses to the emerging economies of sub-Sahara Africa. 

A film documentary, "Africa Open for Business" produced by Carol Pineau, a journalist with more than 10 years of experience reporting on Africa, features business opportunities,entrepreneurship and private enterprise in Africa. Contrary to what most media outlets portray businesses are thriving throughout Africa. Pineau says that with good governance and sound fiscal policies, countries like Botswana, Ghana, Uganda, Senegal and many more are bustling, their economies growing at surprisingly robust rates.

“Private enterprise is not just limited to the well-behaved nations. You can't find a more war-ravaged land than Somalia, which has been without a central government for more than a decade. The big surprise? Private enterprise is flourishing,” Pineau encourages.

Business-minded individuals, entrepreneurs, business owners, executives, and college students should find the investment forum which follows the documentary very rewarding.   It is intended to raise the level of awareness regarding sub-Saharan Africa’s emerging economies. The meeting will motivate attendees to increase their knowledge, and focus on global networking, investing, and partnerships, in areas of Banking, Stock Market trading and investing, Import/Export, Agriculture, transportation, infrastructure construction and communication.   Participants will be encouraged to seize the excellent opportunities of wealth creation and financial empowerment that awaits their participation.  Members of financial institutions, and Marketing and Networking experts will be in attendance to speak on access to capital.

            The Carlton-Carew EP Foundation is a non-profit Foundation headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia that seeks to advance the socio-economic development of the people of sub-Saharan Africa, the African Diaspora, with special interest in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Rwanda, and Burundi.
