The Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) is set to host the 17th United States -Africa Business Summit in Luanda, Angola, from June 22 to 25, 2025.
With the theme: “Pathways to prosperity: A shared vision for U.S.-Africa partnership,” the summit will focus on fostering economic growth across Africa. The event will explore ways to improve the investment climate, broaden trade opportunities, and connect American and African enterprises for meaningful partnerships.
According to a statement from the CCA’s media office, more than 1,500 delegates, including African presidents, ministers, senior U.S. government officials, and corporate executives are expected to attend the 2025 summit. The agenda includes wide-ranging discussions on boosting trade, investment, and collaboration between the U.S. and Africa’s private sectors.
The Angola summit comes at a pivotal time for engagement between the new U.S. and African leadership, providing a platform for deeper cooperation across key sectors. As U.S. trade policy adapts to evolving global dynamics, the summit will facilitate high-level talks, investment agreements, and dialogue between public and private sector leaders.
CCA Chairman John Olajide encouraged African business leaders, particularly in Nigeria, to leverage the summit’s opportunities. He said the theme represents a mutual commitment to partnerships that deliver tangible benefits for businesses and workers alike.
A Nigerian entrepreneur based in Dallas, Olajide is the founder and CEO of Axxess, a healthcare technology company, and Chairman of Cavista Holdings Limited, an investment firm active in technology, agriculture, hospitality, fintech, and energy.
With the summit drawing near, Olajide confirmed that several African Heads of State, government leaders, and ministers are scheduled to speak.
He said that these leaders will present national strategies, outline policy goals, and share their vision for closer economic cooperation with the U.S. They will also hold targeted meetings with investors and global executives to explore specific investment opportunities.
