In order to ensure sustainable trade and investment initiatives between the public and private sectors, the United States Africa Summit, the yearly Sub-Saharan Africa Business and Investment Summit (SSABIS), will be organized.
“Building a Sustainable Future” will be the theme of this year’s summit, which will be held in New York on September 25, 2024, because of the popularity of the previous edition, according to a release from SSABIS.
This will continue on the momentum of recent years with its focus on investment prospects in the sub-Saharan Africa region. It aims to assure long-lasting US and African public/private sector trade and investment initiatives during this historical period of global difficulties and deep change.
“It is with great excitement that we again bring SSABIS to New York and unleash the power of Africa’s private sector,” stated Joyce Rogers, founder and executive director of SSABIS.
“The Summit will be an evening dedicated to networking and creating business relationships,” she said, adding that “it is in the strategic interests of both Africa and the U.S. to encourage broader and deeper business connections.”
“We think that new opportunities exist for African businesses to thrive in the U.S. and globally, and that the time is right for America and the global community to engage in Africa.”
The key to increasing investment in Africa, the United States, and the global community at large, according to Halliday, is closing agreements and having lively, useful conversations.
A wide range of business leaders from many industries, as well as a number of presidential and ministerial delegations, Congressmen, USAID, Prosper Africa, and other U.S. authorities, have already committed to attending the Summit.
A group of foreign trade and investment partners known as SSABIS works to promote trade and foreign direct investment into sub-Saharan Africa.
The team in charge of the organization has a wide range of experience, from government relations and organizational leadership for civil society to corporate development, global trade facilitation, public-private partnerships, and private equity.
