During the General Assembly meeting celebrated in Cape Town on 31 October 2008, TCI members elected a new board with few changes.

The General Assembly also elected as directors two new members proposed by the Nominating Committee: Carlos Alvarez, operational head from CORFO (Chile) and Barnabas Nawangwe from the Makerere University (Uganda) who is also the President of the PACF-Pan African Competitiveness Forum Council.
