The Loss of a Friend

We are profoundly saddened to learn of the passing of our friend and colleague Patrice Venant Kinonzi. On many occasions, it was Dr. Venant Kinonzi who saw to it that delegations of entrepreneurs from Kinshasa and the Lower Congo attended EMA Invest. A former minister of finance in what was then Zaire, he shared our conviction that only African entrepreneurs would be able to pull Africa out of its current state of under-development. It is for this reason that, for so many years, he devoted all his energy and talent to their training and the technical preparation of their projects. He highly esteemed them. We extend our most sincere condolences to his family and friends.
