...our mid- to long-term goal is to catalyze private investment flows, which are the lifeblood of broad-based, sustainable growth. -Kimmett

PIC-Palestine-2008 Vision: To improve the economic and social living standards in Palestine through increased investment in the Palestinian economy. This will be enabled by a strong partnership between the public and private sectors. The conference will launch a process of continuous improvement of the local business environment and promote investment in the many diverse sectors of the Palestinian economy.

The PCR Project believes in the benefits found in partnering the private and public sectors to tackle sustainable economic and social growth.
