Jointly hosted by British Expertise and the British and Colombian Chamber of Commerce (B&CCC), a meeting to be held in London in October will explain why these organisations believe that the time is right to see Colombia as a market.
Those attending will hear the results of B&CCC’s newly completed research into the project opportunities created by the Colombian Government’s commitment to develop the country’s infrastructure, and will be provided with a copy of the report.
Carlos Sanchez, a lawyer with the firm of Duran & Osorio, will summarise the legal context of doing business in the fourth largest country in South America and will examine Colombian public-private partnership contracts and briefly describe how to take part in public procurement processes.
The meeting will be held at the London offices of British Expertise (10 Grosvenor Gardens) on 1 October at 3.30pm.
British Expertise is organising a UK infrastructure mission to visit Bogota and Cartagena from 19-23 November, to coincide with the Colombian Infrastructure Chamber Congress, the country’s largest infrastructure congress.
The October meeting will provide the background to the potential benefit of participating in the mission and will explain how, over the next eight years, Colombia will invest US$55 billion in its infrastructure, covering airports, ports, railways, hospitals, schools and roads.
Further details of the meeting, which is free to attend, can be found here.
