Trade Expo Africa (TEXA) is the 1st African B2B trade show, dedicated to African business owners & business professionals. It was established to showcase African Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) operating in the United States of America (USA) and other African Countries. Participating SMEs may be based in the U.S. or their home country. TEXA also aims to boost export opportunities in Africa by leveraging on The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which is a United States Trade Act, enacted on 18 May 2000 as Public Law 106 of the 200th Congress. The purpose of this legislation is to assist the economies of sub-Saharan Africa and to improve economic relations between the United States and these regions with the possibility of exporting qualifying products into the U.S. duty free.
When interviewed, the CEO, Yinka Thomas-Ogboja had this to say “TEXA is a timely intervention for African SMEs with export-oriented products and services willing to introduce their products and services to the international market. We are partnering with governments and corporate agencies that promote trade, exports, and SME growth initiative. We are also partnering with select U.S. retail chain stores which will give exhibitors the opportunity to relate directly with off-takers with the possibility of establishing mutually beneficial relationships. SMEs are registering from Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa and other African countries and I implore Nigeria based SMEs that fall into this category to take advantage of this trade show as slots are filling up fast. ”
