THE US-AFRICA BUSINESS SUMMIT

 June 21-24, 2005 - Baltimore, Maryland

The Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) will host its fifth biennial U.S-Africa Business Summit from June 21-24, 2005 at the Baltimore Waterfront Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland.

Expected to be the largest event of its kind within the United States, the Summit strives to increase American investment throughout the African continent by increasing U.S. private sector awareness of the many commercial opportunities in Africa. It will also address specific policy issues that confront the U.S. private sector in the African marketplace and to develop partnerships among African and American businesses.



It is our aim that the U.S.-Africa Business Summit will help advance, in tangible terms, our common ambition of strengthening trade and investment ties between the United States and Africa. We do so through an agenda that includes plenary sessions and workshops. Topics to be discussed include:

· Agriculture
· Arts & entertainment
· Education
· Energy & power
· Finance
· Healthcare
· Housing
· Regional groups
· Small business opportunities
· Telecommunications
· Tourism
· Transportation & infrastructure



The format of the event provides the opportunity for participants to interact with African and American private and public sector leaders. As in past years, the 2005 Summit expects to attract nearly 2000 business and government leaders from Africa and the United States.
