Developing US-Africa Economic Ties

For over six years, we have hosted multiple events at the UN towards connecting organizations and businesses with new buyers, suppliers, and investment opportunities. Many of the connections made at this has led to long-term relationships and strategic partnerships.

The USAfrica Business Expo, therefore, has been created as an effective platform to help African businesses find US markets for its export ready products through the maximization of US trade policies such as AGOA and Prosper Africa while also helping fulfill the UN’s SDG 17 Trade Goal. This Expo brings the opportunities in Africa and the U.S together – enabling any business to find the people, funding, and market it needs to be successful.

Drawn across the private and public sectors, participants include Governmental agencies/Parastatals, Entrepreneurs, investors, business, political and diplomatic leaders from 54 African countries attending the UNGA. With the 2020 theme “Exploring Bilateral Relationship for Global Business Sustainability”, this Expo offers new connections, partnerships, immeasurable brand exposure, on-the-spot deals and support measures which shall enhance the investment climate in Sierra Leone.
