The event will take place on August 16th and 17th in Managua, Nicaragua, and will focus on specialized sectors such as apparel, footwear, food processing and manufacturing, as well as world-class bilingual business process outsourcing (BPO) services. Participants will be coming from various countries in Asia, Europe, North, Central and South America.

Some of the topics that will be discussed during this year's edition include an overview of Nicaragua's industrial sector, market access, investment incentives, offshoring guidelines, latest industry trends and the country's most profitable investment opportunities. The program will also include networking activities as well as site visits to successful and leading foreign investment projects operating in the country.
