Taylor calls for greater Francistown support :: Mmegi Online

FRANCISTOWN: Botswana Telecommunication Corporation (BTC) CEO, Paul Taylor, has called on investors and entrepreneurs to identify opportunities and invest in Francistown, calling it a regional centre and a gateway to the north.

He said this when officially opening the 20th BOCCIM Northern Trade Fair (BNTF) at Botswana Commerce of Manpower and Industry (BOCCIM) grounds on Friday.

The theme for this year’s Trade Fair is: “Investment, My Opportunity to Play a Role in an Evolving Global Economy, Tapping into Unlimited Opportunities”.Highlighting Francistown’s investment allure, Taylor said the city had a population of close to 100,000, and also boasted a number of dams within a 200-kilometre radius as well as mines operating within its vicinity. He said the city also has ample freehold and state land, which if serviced, can provide facilities for companies to set up and develop Francistown into a more vibrant economic hub.
