Summit Overview:
This Virtual Summit, the first and largest of its kind, convenes thousands of c-suite executives and decision-makers from African businesses, both large and small. The summit is designed to present, from the highest ranks, the various ways in which the U.S. can assist in growing African businesses through trade, investment, and technical assistance.
Specifically tailored for African business leaders, this Virtual Summit serves as a portal—a one-stop shop—into the United States Government’s resources at the highest levels. The summit is structured into four sessions, all taking place in one day.
For decades, the United States Government has funded numerous agencies and platforms to support African companies in doing business with both the U.S. government and the U.S. private sector. We are pleased to bring these resources together, at one time and in one place, for African business leaders.
