Corporate Council on Africa and the Government of Mozambique will host more than 1,000 U.S. and African private sector executives, international investors, senior government officials and multilateral stakeholders. The Summit’s theme is “Advancing a Resilient and Sustainable U.S.-Africa Partnership”.

H.E. Filipe Nyusi, President of the Republic of Mozambique will open the Summit which will be attended by the following African Heads of State: King Mswati III, Kingdom of Eswatini; H.E.

The Summit will provide a platform for U.S. and African business and government leaders to engage on key sectors including agribusiness, energy, health, infrastructure, ICT, finance and more. Private sector and government decision makers will be able to network, meet potential business partners and explore new business opportunities. Delegates will also be encouraged to help shape effective U.S.-Africa trade and investment policies.
