global partnerships.
A curated business network initiated by the U.S.–Africa Allies Foundation, connecting entrepreneurs, executives, and investors across Africa and the United States, and including strategic participation from Israeli business leaders and innovators.
About the Network
Beyond networking — into execution.
The Transatlantic Business Leaders Network is a structured platform designed to connect serious business actors across Africa and the United States, while opening participation to Israeli entrepreneurs, innovators, and investors.
The Network is initiated and coordinated by the U.S.–Africa Allies Foundation, which provides governance, strategic oversight, and institutional continuity. While the Foundation remains focused on strengthening U.S.–Africa relations, the Network expands the operational ecosystem to include Israel — particularly in areas of innovation, technology, investment, and enterprise development.
The goal is to move beyond networking into real business execution, joint ventures, and scalable cross-border partnerships.
