Hi,

You may know last year South Africa awarded a $4.7bn contract to build more than a thousand freight locomotives to four groups including General Electric. GE has identified Africa as one of its most important growth areas; plans to invest $2bn by 2018 as well as doubling its workforce on the continent.

GE is seeking to more than double revenue from Africa to as much as $10 billion over the next five years as it targets like locomotive opportunities in countries including Nigeria and Ethiopia. You may have the same business strategies and want to cooperate with global giants as well as access to a better local channel? See GE’s plan.

This time, Zeenith Ebrahim, Africa Commercial Leader of GE Transportation will speech at Rail Expansion & Technology Africa 2015, you will gain details GE Transportation’s Africa development plan and have a good lesson from GE.
