WHY AFRICA? WHY NOW?



  1. Exposure Opportunities: As Africa’s policy makers and business leaders race to strengthen economic ties with regions around the world, those who listen to their aspirations and strategically position their products and services as enablers of economic development would reap commercial benefits. This event and platform serve as a gateway to secure exposure for your business. Africa's business leaders are also looking to expand their reach to develop mutually beneficial trade opportunities.
  2. Trade not Aid: Over the past 20 – 30 years, Africa's policy leaders have built and strengthened political relationships around the world, which has led to an overall increase in Foreign Aid toward the continent. However, in recent times the conversation has rightly shifted from capturing Aid to Trade but the accompanying strategy must also shift. The biggest gap is that Africa's leaders must establish stronger partnerships with the global business community to truly capture trade. For example, in the U.S., trade opportunities abound outside of Washington, D.C. since corporate America is stronger in trade opportunities while Washington remains the political epicenter.
  3. Content: There is Data and there is Actionable Data. Our agenda for this engagement event is structured to ignite deep trade and investment conversation to facilitate engagement in the context of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) and other business relevant topics. We know that Africa offers new export markets for U.S. and globally manufactured products. Similarly, U.S. serves as an untapped market for authentic African products—raw and manufactured. For leaders interested in export and import, sustainable agriculture, supply chain, retail, technology innovation, women’s empowerment, healthcare and education, this platform offers unique opportunities to capture ideas that can be replicated to fast track trade with the region. U.S. for example still engages at less than 2% of total global trade with Sub-Saharan Africa and there is room to grow these numbers.
  4. Virtual Networking: Our virtual Trade and Investment Platform, offers unique connection opportunities for those seeking strategic partnerships with trade stakeholders. Africa is home to 1.1 billion people and by 2050, the population is projected to double and become one of the world’s largest productive youth workforce. Africa has 60% of the world's uncultivated land mass and with manufacturing steadily shifting to Africa, the timing is right for business leaders to develop effective strategies towards the region. This platform provides a front row sit to leaders looking to learn and engage.
  5. Speakers: Our speakers have been selected for their unique wealth of experience and knowledge in strategic areas to drive commercial engagements and facilitate trade. We have also created more time for extensive Q & A sessions to facilitate business critical discussions on best practices for investing and trading with Africa.​
