Programs & Initiatives
Everything the chapter runs is designed around one test: does it bring a member measurably closer to doing business between the United States and Africa.
Core programs
Organized, chamber-backed visits that put members in-market with the right meetings already on the calendar. Missions travel in both directions: Atlanta members into African markets, and African partners into Atlanta.
Express interest →Standing member groups organized around our seven priority sectors. Each group shares market intelligence, hosts its own roundtables, and surfaces the deals its members should see first.
See the seven sectors →Practical guidance for members entering a new market: reading regulation, structuring partnerships, moving money, and finding counterparties you can trust. Delivered by members who have done it before.
Request guidance →A collective voice on the trade frameworks that shape our members' opportunities, from AGOA's preferential access to the AfCFTA single market, carried to the officials and institutions who need to hear it.
Read the primers →Working groups
Every member gets a seat in the working group closest to their business. Groups concentrate where Atlanta's strengths meet Africa's fastest-moving markets.
From farm inputs to food processing and export, connecting growers, buyers, and capital.
Renewables, grid, and climate-smart infrastructure for the continent's energy transition.
Cross-border payments, capital access, and the fintech reshaping African commerce.
Pharma, medical supply chains, and health systems linking U.S. expertise with African demand.
Software, connectivity, and the digital backbone of Africa's growing economies.
Direct introductions to partners and investors, plus the guidance to close deals.
Film, music, fashion, and design, where African culture meets global markets.
Built with members
Trade missions get organized because members name the market they need to be in. Working groups form around the sectors members actually work in. If the chapter should be running something it is not, the fastest way to change that is to join and say so.
