The forum aims to bridge gaps between US and African stakeholders, facilitating deeper collaboration in key non-oil industries such as technology, agriculture, healthcare, education, and renewable energy, creating a platform for dialogue and exchange, fostering strategic partnerships, addressing sector-specific challenges, and promoting knowledge sharing. This collaborative environment is designed to leverage the strengths of each partner, identify and tackle technological barriers, infrastructure deficits, and regulatory hurdles, and ultimately drive progress in these critical sectors.

The forum aligns with broader goals of promoting sustainable development, innovation, and economic diversification in Africa. It offers lucrative opportunities for US companies to explore new markets and expand in Africa’s growing non-oil sectors, such as renewable energy, healthcare innovation, and digital technology. US investors can gain insights into sectoral trends and investment climates, positioning them to invest in high-potential areas with promising returns. At the same time, the forum benefits African companies and investors by providing a platform to connect with US counterparts, access new technologies, and form strategic partnerships. African businesses can enhance their market reach and operational capabilities, while investors can engage in joint ventures and secure capital for impactful projects. This synergy drives mutual growth and development, creating valuable opportunities on both sides.
