USATIGS 2019 (http://www.usafricatradesummit.com/), is a trade Summit and multi-sector expo promising to provide African countries a strong platform and excellent opportunity to exhibit and promote their products and services in the United States. The Summit will also address the constraints and barriers that exist in identifying export markets for African product lines.
“It will encourage the establishment of long term trade partnerships and business linkages between Africa and the Americas. This is more than a business opportunity. It’s a movement for business success stories!” says the statement signed by Nassiri Hannifa Bamba, the Director of Communications U.S. – Africa Trade Council.
USATIGS 2019 is the 3rd in a series of trade summits, scaling out from the erstwhile successful U.S.-Nigeria Agribusiness investment Summit (USNAGRIS – www.usnagris.com), and aims to harness and showcase feasible and attractive investment opportunities across the huge U.S. African Trade axis.
The 3-day Summit is also promising to provide a powerful stage to engage and showcase appropriate technologies, inventions and enormous trade potentials.
