Global Diversity Export Initiative Mission to Africa

In-person - South Africa and Ghana

The Global Diversity Export Initiative (GDEI) Trade Mission to Africa is focused on building commercial bridges between U.S. owned or led businesses from underserved communities and business communities in South Africa, Ghana, and Nigeria. The mission will begin in Johannesburg, South Africa where participants can have pre-arranged business-to-business meetings with potential partners and customers and be given market briefings from commercial officers and in-country trade experts from South Africa and surrounding countries. The next stop is Ghana in West Africa where mission participants can have pre-arranged business-to-business meetings with potential partners and customers. After Ghana, mission participants have the option to proceed to an additional stop in Nigeria for two additional days where they can have business-to-business meetings with potential partners and customers.
