Our Service, Programs and Platforms
"We went from no product to being an exporter to 25 retail stores in under two years.
USAfrica Business Week gave us the tactical roadmap and the connection to succeed!"
Emmanuel Kwesi, Marketing Director of Afri Organics Foods
USAfricaHub was founded to bridge the gap between U.S. and African markets and help entrepreneurs thrive in the global economy.
Based in New York City and incorporated in New York State, we operate as a nonprofit organization (registered 501(c)(3)) with a mission to promote and strengthen international trade between the U.S. and Africa[1]. Since our establishment in 2019, we have grown into a leading platform connecting businesses across continents.
We are proud to be led by experienced trade professionals and supported by a diverse advisory network of industry experts and diaspora leaders. Our headquarters in the World Trade Center in NYC reflects our global outlook and commitment to international commerce[7]. In 2024, USAfricaHub earned special recognition by achieving United Nations ECOSOC Consultative Status – a mark of our credibility and global impact[8].
Our network brings together African diaspora entrepreneurs, U.S. and African SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), minority- and women-owned businesses (MWBEs), investors, and policymakers. By convening stakeholders from both sides of the Atlantic, we create a unique ecosystem where ideas, opportunities, and capital find fertile ground. We understand the challenges faced by diaspora entrepreneurs and underserved business owners – from navigating export regulations to finding trustworthy partners. That’s why our programs are designed to be relatable, inclusive, and action-oriented, delivering hands-on support at every step.
We provide end-to-end support for companies looking to engage in U.S.–Africa trade. This includes expert mentorship, market research, B2B matchmaking, training workshops, and access to financing and distribution networks[4]. By offering these resources under one roof, we help our members avoid common pitfalls and accelerate their growth. We believe that with the right knowledge, guidance, and network, even small businesses can go global. Every success story – from a local startup breaking into international markets to a family business expanding exports – is a win for our mission of shared prosperity.
Grow a strong membership community where entrepreneurs and professionals can learn, connect, and collaborate. We strive to provide mentorship, networking, and growth opportunities that empower our members to become successful exporters and importers.
Serve as a hub of knowledge on U.S.–Africa trade. We publish insights, research, and success stories to inform and inspire our audience – from market entry strategies to policy updates – positioning USAfricaHub as a go-to resource for actionable trade intelligence.
Forge partnerships that amplify impact. By working with businesses, government agencies, and international organizations, we aim to unlock funding, open new markets, and influence policies that facilitate fair and mutually beneficial trade[9]. Collaboration is in our DNA – together with our partners, we create win-win initiatives that drive economic growth in both the U.S. and African communities.

As a small business owner, the thought of exporting felt overwhelming. USAfricahub gave me the technical expertise and mentorship I needed to confidently enter the African market. Their support was hands-on and invaluable, connecting me with the right partners and distributors. Now, my business is not only growing, but I'm also proud to be part of a mission that strengthens U.S.-Africa trade.
Finding reliable funding and a solid support network for an export business is a major challenge, especially for minority entrepreneurs. The team at USAfricahub didn't just offer advice; they provided a clear roadmap. The mentorship was top-notch, and they helped me secure the funding that turned my business idea into a reality. This organization is a game-changer for anyone looking to build a successful export business in Africa
USAfricahub truly understands the unique hurdles faced by the African Diaspora in America. Their guidance went beyond simple business advice—they provided the connections and network that are essential for success. Thanks to their technical expertise and partner network, I was able to launch my export business in Africa much faster than I ever thought possible. They’ve opened up new economic opportunities for me and my community.
