The Global Africa Summit, aimed at boosting trade, in­vestment, and partnerships between Africa and its diaspora, has been launched in AccraThe event, set for December, will bring together investors, professionals, and business leaders from across the continent and the diaspora to explore economic op­portunities in Ghana and Africa.Speaking at the launch, the Founding President and CEO of the Africa Investment Network and Convener of the Global Africa Summit, Mrs Jane Reindorf-Osei, said the decision to begin the sum­mit series in Ghana was deliberate."As a proud Ghanaian, I felt that I could not start the Summit Series in Africa anywhere else but Ghana.

We have so much to offer not just natural resources, but also the tal­ent and energy of our people.

We want to bring the diaspora and our global partners here and showcase all the opportunities for invest­ment, partnership, and tourism," she said.She was optimistic that the two-day programme would help focus on trade and investment, with participation from private sector leaders, government officials, aca­demics, and global entrepreneurs."The summit is also backed by international partners, including the National Black Chamber and members of the Africa Invest­ment Network, they are excited to come to Ghana.

It's not just about business.
