Pan African Global Trade & Investment ConferenceTM
​IT'S TIME TO THINK GLOBAL
PROGRAMS
THE FOLLOWING ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS WILL BE DEVELOPED DURING EACH CONFERENCE YEAR:
EDUCATION & TRAINING
Pan African International Trade Education & Training Program – The small business owners and students attending previous international trade conferences have appreciated the opportunity to learn the essential components of international trade and commerce. However additional in depth training is needed to build their capacity to participate in the international marketplace. The conference has determined that the best method to address this problem is to establish community and university based education and training programs in international trade and commerce for individuals and small business owners. The curriculum and faculty will include the topics and presenters featured during the conference. Community based programs will involve the development of business seminars in collaboration with U.S. and African chambers of commerce and small business associations. We begun negotiations to establish the first phase of a university based program that will initially be offered in Phase I as a certificated program providing continuing education in international trade and commerce for small business owners, trade professionals and individuals. We will subsequently initiate the development of a Phase II four year program offering a Bachelor’s Degree in International Trade and Commerce.
Ecumenical Community Development Workshops - Faith based programs will be prepared to create conflict resolution programs and harness investment financing to build local economies and support humanitarian activities in African and the African Diaspora.
BUSINESS TOURS & PAVILIONS
African Business & Cultural Tourism Program – As a result of each conference the coordinators will plan and conduct business and culture tours to Africa. Each tour will be planned to maximize bilateral business opportunities in predetermined industry sectors for each business participant and develop cultural relationships through student exchange programs and needed humanitarian assistance. Each participant will receive training in each countries business culture and opportunities before they depart. Follow up support will also be provided to assist in developing and consummating trade and service agreement opportunities provided by each trade mission.
African Trade Pavilions, Workshops & Business Meetings will be conducted for companies and individuals involved and/or interested in viable bilateral international trade with pre-identified potential business partners and financiers from Africa, the African Diaspora and the U.S.
FINANCING & INVESTMENT
Annual Seminars on Investment Banking for Infrastructure and Industrial Technology Development will be conducted for African and US Investors, educators and business professionals. The mission of the seminar is to create an annual forum featuring Africa's Central Banks whereby international banks and financial institutions are exposed to current infrastructure and industrial technolgy investment opportunites for the emerging economies of Africa and the Pan African Diaspora.
