SEE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Year 7, Nº 15 / Monday, April 15, 2002 International trade missions, trade shows and forums on promoting business opportunities and investment, continue to be viable official policy options for conveying relevant data to economic players, with a view to trying business schemes in any country. Such activities facilitate the decision making process in connection with the development of private efforts, as they bring investors and policymakers, trade financing entities and country experts, closer together. These efforts basically reflect the features of the "investor targeting" technique as pertains to the investment promotion element. This technique follows a classification of specific actions for promoting investment, together with support services for the establishment and post-establishment of investments, which are highly valued among investors. In practice, it is a highly effective policy for attracting investments to specific industries with a competitive potential, or to address specific development needs in every country. Recently CONAPRI gave its support to and took part in a trade mission to San José (Costa Rica), in an effort organized jointly by the Foreign Ministry and BANCOEX. Several Venezuelan entrepreneurs exchanged views with their Costa Rican colleagues and explored business opportunities, joint-investments and direct foreign investment schemes in each country. This is a highly specific effort that evidences our strong interaction with public sector entities.
