In September 2026, USAfrica Business Week will return to New York for its nineth Event celebrating U.S. African diaspora culture, fashion, and cuisine. For one week in New York City during the UNGA, we will convene the best opportunities in Africa and the U.S. together, enabling any business to find the people, funding, and market it needs to be successful.

Over the past six years, USAfrica Business Week has grown from a trade expo into a week of activities that connect U.S. and African businesses and facilitate trade, investment, and export and import opportunities. As with every USAfrica event, the networking and business opportunities promise to be unbeatable.

Event programming will focus on spotlighting different countries in Africa's export potential, investment opportunities, and the rich cultural diversity of the African diaspora within the U.S.

Our programming will feature insightful keynote speeches, interactive panel sessions, and engaging conversations with inspirational guest speakers, including government officials, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and celebrities.

Thank you for registering for the USAfrica Business Week. We are excited to welcome you to the event and look forward to seeing you there.
