Angola is positioning itself as a leading destination for agricultural investment in the lead-up to the 17th U.S.-Africa Business Summit, set to take place in Luanda from June 23 to 27, 2025.

Organized in partnership with the Corporate Council on Africa (CCA), the summit aims to deepen economic ties between the United States and African nations, with a sharp focus on key sectors including agriculture, infrastructure, energy, and technology.

Angolan officials are emphasizing the country’s potential in agriculture, pointing to opportunities in agribusiness and food security as part of broader efforts to attract investment.

With a clear goal to diversify its economy beyond oil, the government is actively working to scale agricultural production and build sustainable agri-food systems that can support long-term development.

The upcoming summit is seen as a critical platform for showcasing these opportunities to U.S. investors and other international stakeholders.

Angola’s strategy is to use this high-level gathering to highlight concrete investment prospects and reinforce its image as an emerging hub for agribusiness on the continent.

The timing of the summit carries additional weight, as it comes just months ahead of Angola’s 50th anniversary of independence in November 2025.

This milestone highlights the nation’s progress and ambitions, while underscoring its commitment to building a more resilient and diversified economy.

By leaning into agriculture and presenting a clear investment case, Angola is signaling its readiness to forge new economic partnerships and shape a more prosperous future.
