This Forum will focus on key opportunities in the digital economy to expand African trade and promote a next generation of exports from Africa to the United States through a series of keynote addresses, interactive panels and fireside chats with business, policy, and government experts.  The Chamber’s Private Sector AGOA Forum on the digital economy will explore the opportunities for expanding the commercial relationship between the U.S. and Africa by highlighting the best practices and tools for creating an enabling environment that catalyzes investment in these key engines of growth.
