The African Economic Forum is part of the African Chamber of Commerce -DFW's goal to provide economic
stimulus through the promotion of trade opportunities between Africa and the United States.
In a recent report from U.S. Department of Commerce, “Africa is home to seven of the ten fastest growing economies in the
world, and helping U.S.
business expand their presence in these African markets is a top priority for
the Department of Commerce and the Administration”.
The DFW area is home to approximately 250,000 African
immigrants. DFW airport is known as the international
“Gateway to the Americas”
due to its strategic business location and travel access to all parts of the
world. Opportunity for trade in Africa and America is a bilateral force
recognizing the two entities’ ultimate goals.
Our
upcoming forum will address and focus on the missing link – formulating
immediate bilateral trade diplomacy. Our
goals focus on moving the continent to an industrialized era through private
public partnership efforts. Energy,
Transportation, Agriculture, Tourism and Culture should be at the forefront to
immediately catapult economic trade opportunities between the US and Africa
(a two way street of economic exchange).
Africans are interested in doing business with the U.S.
compared to the rest of the world however some data indicates the United States lacks effort in directing business
investments in Africa. This evidence should warrant an immediate
look at what Africa has to offer in
accessibility and quality and this forum is an excellent opportunity for
businesses, governments, and leaders to connect the dots.
