About USAfrica Business Week
For over six years, UBW has operated as a high-level convening platform advancing trade and investment between Africa and the United States connecting opportunity with capital and engagement with execution.
Building on the success of previous editions which have facilitated over $2 billion in deal engagement and convened governors, ministers, heads of agencies, senior officials, and business leaders, USAFRICA Business Week continues to provide a focused platform for high-level engagement and deal-making.
For the first time ever, UBW comes to Africa bringing together the African diaspora and continental stakeholders on African soil to build real partnerships, unlock opportunities, and shape the future of global trade.
Tanzania (Africa Edition) - July 21–22, 2026

Tanzania offers a gateway into regional markets across East and Central Africa, with growing opportunities in infrastructure, energy, agriculture, tourism, and industrial development.
