PDF Download Available – Export Mission to Kenya and Tanzania brochure

Enterprise Florida will lead a business delegation of Florida manufacturers and services providers to facilitate business cooperation between the Florida delegates and their counterparts in East Africa. This trade mission also aims to further trade relations between Florida and two of the largest economies in the East Africa Community (EAC). Florida companies’ world-class goods and services have a significant competitive advantage and are well-suited for the types of industries being pursued by businesses in East Africa.

Enterprise Florida is collaborating with the U.S. Commercial Service (USCS) in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam to coordinate the mission and facilitate meetings for the Florida participants. Additionally, mission participants will benefit from networking events and meeting contacts outside of the scheduled appointments.
