About USAfrica Business Week

For over six years, UBW has operated as a high-level convening platform advancing trade and investment between Africa and the United States—connecting opportunity with capital and engagement with execution.

Building on the success of previous editions—which have facilitated over $2 billion in deal engagement and convened governors, ministers, heads of agencies, senior officials, and business leaders—USAFRICA Business Week continues to provide a focused platform for high-level engagement and deal-making.

In 2026, the platform expands its footprint with two strategically positioned convenings: Tanzania and New York.

UBW ON AFRICAN SOIL

Tanzania (Africa Edition) - July 21–22, 2026

This marks the first USAfrica Business Week convening on African soil, bringing the platform directly into one of East Africa’s fastest-growing and strategically positioned economies.

Tanzania offers a gateway into regional markets across East and Central Africa, with growing opportunities in infrastructure, energy, agriculture, tourism, and industrial development.
