Since our founding in 2010, we have been gradually building a network which permits us to harness the global intellectual capacity of Africans in the Diaspora and friends of Africa in order to promote business and economic development across the continent and the communities in which we live.
Since 2010, we have convened over 11,000 people on entrepreneurship, investment, innovation, and human capital development.
Successfully completed nine African Diaspora Investment Symposiums (ADIS), held in Santa Clara County, California between 2016-2024 with 2 symposiums virtually in 2021 and 2022. Between our African Diaspora Investment Symposium and Impact and Innovation Forums, ADN has engaged 97 countries.
Over the last seven years we have trained 162 entrepreneurs across our 3 accelerator programs.
