U.S – Africa Business Summit 2022 to be Hosted in Morocco

Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) will organize the next edition of the U.S -Africa Business Summit on July 19 – 22, 2022 in Marrakech, Morocco. The Summit will build on the momentum of last year’s virtual Summit, which focused on the unique opportunity for the new U.S. Administration and its African partners to reset and redefine their relationship as they work together to shape the path for economic recovery needed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

CCA says it is delighted to co-host and partner with the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco to bring the 2022 Summit to Marrakech. The 2021 Summit was a tremendous success and the caliber of engagement by U.S. and African business and government leaders was outstanding.

President and CEO, Corporate Council on Africa, Florizelle Liser said The partnerships forged, investment opportunities identified, and deals closed are still being cited by attendees. We believe the 2022 Summit in Morocco will be even more successful and serve as a significant opportunity to expand and deepen the U.S.-Africa trade, investment, and business relationship.

Following a strategic selection process, CCA’s Board of Directors selected the Kingdom of Morocco as the host for the 2020 Summit, but due to the global pandemic, it was canceled. Having signed the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) and a leading investor in Africa, Morocco has demonstrated its commitment to promoting economic development in the continent.
