4th Pan-African Business Leaders’ Summit to hold in Las Vegas

The 4th Pan-African Business Leadership Summit will hold in Las Vegas, USA from 25-26 November 2019.

The Pan-Africa Business Leadership Summit is a bi-annual business forum for businesses from Africa and USA to interact with the objective of forging result-oriented interactions and collaborations among participants.

The event is being organised by Africa Informer, a Nevada, United States-based non-profit for the socioeconomic integration of black communities in US and globally.

Africa Informer is being partnered in Ghana on the summit by Global Poverty Reduction Initiative-Ghana, (GPRI-Ghana), a non-profit organisation dedicated to meeting the needs of people affected by natural disasters, and Journalists for Regional Integration (JORIN), a non-governmental organisation that works to fast-track regional integration in West Africa.

This year’s summit will hold at the prestigious Treasure Island Resort, Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, and under the theme, ‘Promoting US -Africa partnerships in the construction, healthcare, mining, cattle ranching and solar energy sectors’.

Speaking in an interview, team-lead of the summit’s local partners Mr. Martin-Luther C. King noted that at a time when the construction, real estate and solar energy continue to boom across Africa, it was imperative for indigenous African operators in these sectors to continue seeking partnerships and collaborations globally, to improve on technology, safety, and marketing.

“More than $471 billion was spent on construction alone across sub Saharan Africa in 2018. Similarly, solar energy is here and Africa is perhaps the most suited continent for this cheap, clean and efficient power source, especially in the context of its myriad problems with fossil energy. To effectively harness the full benefits of all these, therefore, it is quite imperative for indigenous African operators in these important sectors to continue seeking partnerships and collaborations globally, to improve on technology, safety, and marketing,” King stated.

The 4th Pan-African Business Leadership Summit will be hosted with support from the offices of Congresswoman Susie Lee, representing Nevada 3rd District, Congressman Steven Horsford, representing Nevada 4th District and Congresswoman Dina Titus, representing Nevada 1st District.
