"Since October 2017, Tropics Business Summit has always been great in the sense that the quality of businesses that attend are outstanding. We are already witnessing outcomes from the summit. We have one business that has signed a lease and plans to invest in Congo for the long run. And, this is incredible fir our economy.”

"The access that companies have at the Tropics Business Summit to the highest level of the Panafrican governments, plus all of the state and local trade and investment agencies, for us it was an unparalleled opportunity to access all of the people in one place that we need to make our transition to Africa from America easier."
