In collabroation with Aphropean Partners, the IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society (TEMS) Chapter Central Europe invites you to the next #FOD17 Frontiers of Dialogue. This time the topic is:
 
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) across Borders: Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa
 
We will look into practices and strategies to operate with the highest ethical
standards and maximise the benefits of business expansion in Africa.
A critical success factor in doing business in Africa is to exercise CSR initiatives in the
form of fair trade, skills development, job creation and environment management.
We have invited a multidisciplinary panel of distinguished practitioners with experience
of trading in Africa to share their insights on setting up profitable, sustainable
businesses.

ABOUT #FOD17 FRONTIERS OF DIALOGUE
More and more companies in Europe are seeking collaborating African partners to help tap into opportunities in Africa, and its complex environmental and social value chain challenges.

Rita Isiba, founder of Aphropean Partners established #FOD17 Frontiers of Dialogue out of a desire for a continuous, accessible event for Austria’s international community working towards profitable sustainability. Discover trends and current affairs impacting the future of business, technology, and sustainability in Africa.


The concept is pretty straightforward:

The goal is to bring together bright minds to actively exchange views from an international perspective on a range of subjects to inspire and provoke conversations that matter to business, work, and a sustainable world.
