TESTIMONIALS
Every time I am at ADN, I see a new future for Africa. ADN is the place to find talents and boldness of entrepreneurs, the articulate passion and compassion for a continent that deserves be seen and heard in new ways. ADN forums are an experience that no other person can tell you about. You experience it and you know you have arrived at a place where Africans are proud of their talents and confident to be global players offering hospitality to all global citizens to use two days to focus on Africa!"
ADN is pulling together and intellectual, social, and financial might of Africans in the diaspora to promote economic development on the African continent and cultivate a community that helps each member grow and prosper
The African Diaspora Investment Symposium is emblematic of the increasing organization, mobilization, and dynamism of the African diaspora. I met audience members who had flown from various countries in Africa, Europe, and throughout the United States to attend the convocation of entrepreneurs, investors, NGO leaders, academics, and policymakers. The organization is launching a new platform to better enable its transnational members to communicate and distribute new ideas. Almaz has turned what was already an impactful annual conference into a landmark groundbreaking event that brings together leading thinkers and doers in the African development space
We believe in the work and role of the African Diaspora Network (ADN) as a conduit that stimulates, empowers, and activates the diaspora, friends of Africa and young entrepreneurs to catalyze and contribute in building and transforming Africa’s development. ADN is a platform that strengthens and connects dynamic contributors to Africa’s development with a goal of accelerating social and economic transformation
ADIS2018 was an incredible experience that is close to my roots, and was full of exciting conversations surrounding how we can make a difference in building the future of Africa

2023 Theme: “Future Ready: Africa”
In the next 25 years, Africa’s population is expected to double across the continent. Projections show that a quarter of the world’s people will be African by 2050 (The Guardian). Africa has an opportunity to drive major transformations that adapt to this drastic demographic shift and build resilience in an era of disruption.
The unforeseeable economic shocks created by the ongoing pandemic, international conflicts such as the war in Ukraine, and challenges in the global economy have sparked innovations in industry, investment, and entrepreneurship across the continent. Now, ten years into Agenda 2063, Africa must plan for a sustainable recovery and reimagine its path forward. What does a future ready Africa look like?
Join us as we explore trending innovations, blueprints for the future, and the interconnectedness of sectors including climate change, healthcare, finance, education, and agriculture. How do we strengthen infrastructure, reinvigorate markets, and create a healthy atmosphere for communities? What seeds must be planted to enable a thriving future for the continent? Be inspired to envision, celebrate, and make an impact upon the future of Africa.
