Africa Trade Link and Expo (ATL&Expo) is
currently seeking non-profit 501 (c) (3) status.
ATL and Expo is funded by Foundation
Sponsors, Government Sponsors, Corporate
Sponsors, and Individuals. Their goal is
to provide a platform for USA and other
international firms to do business with Africa
thus spur economic growth, internationally
and locally with an overall goal of reducing
poverty through creation of jobs.
Africa Trade Link and Expo has chosen to
showcase this trade mission in Kenya, but
subsequent missions will rotate in different
countries in Africa that support the mission
of Africa Trade Link and Expo. The next
country to be chosen to host and showcase
this mission will depend on the support
Africa Trade Link and Expo gets from that
country. Such support includes the country’s
political stability, financial sponsorship,
and endorsements, etc. The mission will
rotate between different areas of Africa
such as Zambia, South Africa, Tanzania,
Rwanda, Nigeria, Ghana and Uganda. Sectors
such as energy, health care, agriculture,
infrastructure, vehicles, processed foods, basic
needs and others that are poised for solid
growth in Africa.
