Mauritius to host 2026 US-Africa Business Summit
Mauritius will host the eighteenth US-Africa Business Summit in 2026, says US business organisation the Corporate Council on Africa (CCA).
Each year, the summit brings together African heads of State and government, Ministers, high-level US and African government officials, CEOs and senior executives of US and African companies to explore investment, trade and commercial opportunities.
The selection of Mauritius as the host country shows its commitment to playing a key role in strengthening a mutually beneficial trade and investment relationship between Africa and the US, the CCA says.
Mauritius is known for its political stability, reform-driven economy, strong governance, innovation-friendly policies and high-quality local infrastructure. As a financial and trade hub, the country is an ideal setting for the 2026 US-Africa Business Summit, the organisation says.
The summit will provide an opportunity for participants to engage on critical issues impacting the US-Africa trade and investment relationship and strike deals in key sectors, such as energy, infrastructure, agribusiness, health, information and communication technologies and financial services, that will have positive impacts on the lives of African and US citizens, enterprises, workers and consumers.
“Mauritius is known for its strategic location, strong governance and dynamic business environment. This summit will provide a critical platform to strengthen US-Africa economic relations, explore investment opportunities and foster partnerships that will increase two-way trade,” says CCA president and CEO Florie Liser.
“Mauritius is honoured to host the 2026 US-Africa Business Summit and play a key role in strengthening a mutually beneficial trade and investment relationship between Africa and the US,” says Mauritius Regional Foreign Affairs, Integration and International Trade Minister Dhananjay Ramful.
“Our nation has long been a bridge between Africa and the world and we are committed to creating an enabling environment that encourages trade, innovation and inclusive growth. Hosting this prestigious gathering further underscores Mauritius’ role as a hub for investment and partnership in Africa,” he adds.
