Why Houston? The Unbeatable Nexus
Houston isn't just the energy capital of the world—it's a vibrant, undeniable epicenter for the African diaspora.
Boasting one of the largest and fastest-growing African-born populations in the nation, Houston is a living testament to the entrepreneurial spirit, cultural richness, and global ambition of our community.
From the deeply rooted Nigerian business networks and dynamic East African enterprises to the city's renowned innovation in medicine, energy, and space,
Houston is where the African future is already being built. It's a city where connections are forged, deals are made, and the bridge across the Atlantic feels shorter than ever.

Our choice of Houston perfectly embodies this year's critical theme. The city represents the vital junction where global success meets ancestral ambition. We’re moving beyond dialogue and into the realm of tangible, actionable strategy.

Investors & Fund Managers seeking structured, high-impact opportunities on the continent.
Entrepreneurs & Innovators building solutions for both global and local markets.
Policymakers & Community Leaders dedicated to fostering sustainable development.
