Angola is set to host the 17th edition of U.S.-Africa Business Summit on June 22-25. The summit aims to attract foreign investment and strengthen economic ties with the United States.
The summit, themed “Pathways to Prosperity,” is expected to draw over 3,000 government officials and business leaders. Discussions will focus on strategic sectors such as infrastructure, agriculture, energy and healthcare.
The summit, organized by the Corporate Council for Africa (CCA2) in partnership with the Angolan government, coincides with the 50th anniversary of the country’s independence.
The event aims to foster partnerships between African and American businesses and promote access to financing, particularly for the modernization of agriculture and other key sectors.
By hosting the summit, Angola is signaling its intent to be a central player in Africa’s economic transformation. This follows an edition held in Dallas, Texas, last year as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen U.S.-Africa trade network and diplomatic relations.
