Our vision is to be the niche transcontinental economic bridge that drives business growth, community growth, and global business partnerships—through our business-integrated network in the diaspora.

Our vision guides us to propel business expansion, nurture community development, and foster global business collaborations. We aim to catalyze growth through mutually beneficial connections.

We do what we do because...

  • Of that, about $53 billion went to countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, with Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and Zimbabwe as the top destinations.
  • This surpasses $30 billion in foreign direct investment • $15 billion was sent from the U.S.

U.S Govt interest in 2-way trade with Africa

  • Prosper Africa is the White House initiative to increase two-way trade and investment between the United States and African countries.
  • The U.S. Government initiative provides an entry point for companies and investors to access the full suite of U.S. Government trade and investment services that help to build new markets for American products, drive billions of dollars of U.S. investment in Africa, and support thousands of jobs for both African and American workers.
