Time to Advance with Africa:
Seizing Opportunities with a Vital Continent
As Africa expands its place in the world economy, its stakes for U.S. geopolitical interests will only rise. This year offers ample opportunity to deepen the U.S.-Africa relationship, and we at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S.-Africa Business Center are excited to play a key part in this narrative through engagements like the White House’s U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, our Advance with Africa roadshow, and our Digital Innovation Competition, which inspires and empowers African innovators and startup founders across the continent.
Read the latest from U.S.-Africa Business Center President Scott Eisner, whose blog post explores how the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is engaging and advancing with Africa this year, to make a difference in Africa and at home.
