U.S.-Africa Business Summit
The U.S.-Africa Business Summit, the Corporate Council on Africa’s (CCA) premier annual event, stands as a vital platform for deepening U.S.-Africa business ties across key sectors including agribusiness, energy, health, infrastructure, trade facilitation, ICT, and finance. This high-level Summit fosters unparalleled networking opportunities, facilitating meetings between U.S. and African private sector executives, government representatives, investors, and entrepreneurs. Over 30 years, the Summit has become a crucible for forging partnerships, exploring new business avenues, and shaping policies that promote robust U.S.-Africa trade and investment relationships. Historically attracting an average of 1,000 attendees from 40 countries, including over 50 Heads of State since its inception, the Summit is a testament to the dynamic and evolving U.S.-Africa economic landscape.
The 17th CCA U.S.-Africa Business Summit will be held in Luanda, Angola, on June 22-25, 2025, bringing together U.S. and African public and private sector leaders in one of sub-Saharan Africa’s largest economies and the United States’ third-largest trading partner in the region. Angola, a thriving emerging market with vast investment opportunities and home to many multinational U.S. organizations, has strengthened ties with the U.S. through a trade and investment framework agreement (TIFA) aimed at fostering greater trade and investment. In December 2024, President Biden made his first visit to the continent and became the first sitting U.S. President to visit Angola, with a focus on trade, investment, and the Lobito Corridor—a transformative intra-African infrastructure project connecting Angola to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, and Tanzania. Notably, 2025 marks Angola’s 50th Independence anniversary, and President Lourenço will assume the Chairmanship of the African Union, further solidifying Angola’s continental leadership.
