In a vibrant hall overlooking Kingston Harbour, a new chapter in Africa–Caribbean relations is about to unfold. The Re-Align Business and Investment Conference, announced today, aims to bridge the Atlantic divide with trade, innovation, and shared prosperity.

Set to take place June 24–26, the conference is a brainchild of Entrepreneurial Partners Limited and will feature sector roundtables, deal matchmaking sessions, and high-level panels on everything from agribusiness to digital banking. The focus: turning cultural ties into commercial partnerships.

For African businesses, the Caribbean represents an open gateway for diaspora-led investment, tourism expansion, and trade diversification. For the Caribbean, access to Africa’s fast-growing markets could help revive struggling sectors and unlock new revenue sources.

Organizers say the event will prioritize practical outcomes signed deals, co-financed ventures, and joint infrastructure projects. Participants include private equity firms, fintech founders, export councils, and government trade representatives from at least 15 countries.

At its core, this initiative is about economic solidarity. “We share blood, culture, and history. Now we want to share opportunity,” said lead organizer Dr. Troy Johnson. If successful, the event could redefine diaspora economics and spark long-overdue collaboration between two powerful, yet often disconnected, regions.
