Corbett Keeling and Globalscope, the international mergers and acquisitions (M&A) network, are delighted to announce the success of Globalscope’s 15th Semi-Annual Conference. During the conference, the network confirmed its expansion in:

• China into Shanghai and Jiaxing; and
• Southern Africa into Namibia and Botswana.

Michael Moritz, president of Globalscope, commented: “We are very proud to extend Globalscope’s reach in two of the fastest growing economies in the world. This will benefit our clients hugely.”

The four day conference programme, hosted by Globalscope’s member in South Africa, GKA Capital, was attended by more than 40 partners from 23 of Globalscope’s 32 member firms. For the reception at the Radisson Blu Hotel, the members were joined by numerous selected Southern African entrepreneurs and investors. Local experts, Willie Thabe of the Black Managers Forum, and Noah Greenhill of the leading niche South African Banking and Financial Services Group, SASFIN, provided insight into the opportunities and challenges in Southern Africa. Extensive sector meetings and best practice presentations by the Globalscope members evidenced the close relationships established in the network for the continuing benefit of its clients.

The next Globalscope conference will be held in Athens in October 2014.
