Seychelles Investment Bureau has organized the First investment Forum for Seychelles, which took place on October 20-22 in Brussels. Member of the Organizing Committee of the Forum was the honorary consul of Republic of Seychelles in Bulgaria, Mr. Maxim Behar. The Chief Executive Officer of Seychelles Investment Bureau (SIB), Mrs. Sherin Renaud described the event as a "milestone in Seychelles Investment history, as it is the first time that an investment forum has been organized at such a high level and with such prominence". Special guests of the event were Belgian minister of defence Pieter De Crem, Mr. Jan De Nul, the President of De Nul International and other high delegates. The opening dinner has been hosted by Peter Sinon, the Minister responsible for Investment, Industries and Natural Resources of the Seychelles. The forum was attended by over 150 business representatives from Europe. Especially for the event in Brussels also a Bulgarian business delegation has arrived. Although in the last years the fields of tourism and fisheries in Seychelles have the highest economic growth, delegates were confident that the conditions on the islands are appropriate for regular development in the different economic fields. The organization of such forums in South Africa, London and Asia is beingplanned, with specific sector focus for each of the areas - Light Industry, Tourism, Energy.
