Nearly 1,500 U.S. and African heads of state, government representatives, and private sector leaders are meeting in Dallas, Texas on May 6-9 at this year's U.S.-Africa Business Summit. Hosted by the Corporate Council on Africa, the Summit focuses on elevating U.S.-Africa business relations and advocating to shape effective U.S.-Africa trade and investment policies.
It will be the first time the Summit is being held in the United States since 2017, and the first one held outside Washington in the U.S. in 12 years. Dallas is an exceptional venue for the event. It is the most prosperous region in the country and home to many Fortune 500 corporations with global operations, while Texas has the largest African diaspora in the United States.
The Summit provides an extraordinary opportunity for U.S. businesses to network and discover Africa's limitless commercial opportunities, and to capitalize on an underappreciated area of our world. Several African heads of state are already committed to attend the Summit, and high-ranking U.S. trade and diplomatic officials always attend as well.
