City of Tomorrow 09
Event: City of Tomorrow offers a new deal for local Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Tourism to local governments. Cities are the engines of national economies in every country. It is essential for City officials to attract Investment not only locally but also internationally to offer the living standards that their constituents are expecting.
With the globalisation of the world economy and the ever-increasing population of the cities, local goverments are forced to compete for investors and tourists‚ attention, not only on a local level but on a global level.
City of Tomorrow exhibition 09 will be the networking and deal-making exhibition, that will enable cities and businesses to showcase their potential to investors and prospective tourist. City officials and those responsible for economic development, will be able to come and meet investors, members of the public (potential tourists), business leaders, contractors, developers and private and public partnership companies, in order to showcase their cities as a valuable destination for investment, tourism and business setup .
The exhibition will be advertised to 120 countries around the world and will partner with leading national, regional and international media. We estimate a total US$ 2,5 million will be spent on advertising and marketing the event.
