The 18th U.S.-Africa Business Summit will be held in Mauritius, one of Africa’s most stable, business-friendly, and globally connected economies.

With a strong regulatory environment, a leading financial services sector, and world-class infrastructure, Mauritius offers an ideal setting to connect U.S. and African leaders, catalyse new commercial opportunities, and amplify partnerships across the continent.

Building on the success of last year’s Summit, which generated over $4 billion in deals and convened 12 African Heads of State and Government, 3 heads of African agencies, 41 ministers, more than 400 U.S. and African officials, over 230 speakers, and more than 2,800 attendees, the 2026 Summit is set to build on this momentum. It will provide a dynamic platform for high-level engagement, strategic partnerships and deal-making.

Mauritius, a strategic gateway for investment into Africa and the Indian Ocean region, will host discussions and networking across key sectors such as financial services, ICT, renewable energy, the blue economy, manufacturing, and tourism.

The Summit will bring together senior government officials, CEOs, and investors to advance the next phase of U.S.-Africa trade and investment.
