the Malawi Investment Forum 2016 which will be held at the Bingu International Conference Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe, Malawi, from 10^th to 11^th of October, 2016.

Some of the key unique success factors for the MIF2016 are listed here-under:

1.            There will be 15 ready strategic projects that the Government will announce under

the guise of the Public-Private Partnership;

2.            Local projects and foreign projects will be pre-matched ideally a month before the

forum so that possible collaborators can discuss electronically and reach preliminary

understandings before meeting face to face in Malawi;

3.            The B2Bs will be structured at three levels in-order to maximize possible interface

among prospective partners and stakeholders in order to facilitate the plausibility of deals

being made.   The first level will be B2Bs with Government Ministers for those that would

want to meet with any Minister; the second one will be for pre-matched projects and the

third one will be to facilitate those that have not been paired but still wish to meet possible

partners.

Thus, this time the MIF2016 is focused on projects and deals being realized.  Particularly, the forum will

focus on six clusters, Vis:

1.  Agriculture and Agro-processing

2.  Tourism and Services (ICT, Health, and Education);

3.  Manufacturing

4.  Energy and Mining

5.  Infrastructure (Transport, Water, Housing & Commercial Structures, Industrial Estates).

6.  Financial Services.
