What businesses want. - 1994

Highlights the conclusions of a CDI Conference on the needs of firms in the North and the South from industrial cooperation. Identifies the need of ACP applicants as assistance with production, with marketing, with financing, and with management. The main motives of the European firms are: to determine sources of raw materials and semi-finished products; to lower production costs; to look for suppliers of industrial products in the ACP countries; to search for direct outlets in the ACP countries; to find innovative financial or technological openings; and, to know what the industrial opportunities are.
