ROAR! Global® 2024 Summit

Hosting “The Decade Of Achievement” in business and diplomacy.

We try to avoid the single-building syndrome. You have to look at the big picture. If you try to put social and cultural development ahead of economic development, it doesn’t work. You have to do it all together.

  • Join Our Global Audience. 5 Continents, Multiple Countries.

    Any business enterprise not leveraging global and emerging markets, is in our opinion, at least 20 years obsolete in their business paradigm and practices.

    The world is interdependent economically; more global and globalized. This gives a unique perspective to business vantage points of the African global Diaspora doing business with our continental and historical home. Because the African Diaspora is global in nature, diverse narratives and opportunities can be availed and leveraged if approached from a win-win- perspective. This es the unique ecosystem created and cultivated by ROAR! Global®.

    Importance of preparation necessary to go global.

    Today’s entrepreneurs are culturally as socially educated regarding global markets of interest.

    We understand the value of global trade but also understand each country's strengths and weaknesses. This means developing healthy relations with other countries with a robust understanding of cultural differences and finding ways of complementing each’s policies and practices.

    Who should attend?

    This summit is organized for US-based and internationally based businesses ready to do business in Africa, leveraging this opportunity to not only confer with but pitch investment and logistical partnerships with private sector leaders in Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, Ethiopia, Kenya, US, UK, and Brazil.

    This is also an excellent opportunity for private equity investment firms, venture capitalists, corporate investors, angel investors and philanthropists to invest in and discover “the next big idea or business trend” among our attendees and speakers.

Day 3: Business Summit - Areas of focus:

  • STE(A)M for tomorrow’s leaders and innovators

  • HBCU Celebration

Since the Year of the Return in 2019, Ghana has positioned itself as the focal point for re-establishing socioeconomic relationships between the traditional and continental diaspora. In addition to leading such international efforts, Ghana has heavily invested in initiatives that address national interests concerning renewable energy, food security, and intergenerational collaboration. Such interests are of equal priority within diasporic communities and are especially ingrained in political and educational institutions within the African American community, like Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Ghana and the African American community address the aforementioned interests with similar strategies. According to the Ghana Renewable Energy Plan of 2021, Ghana has laid groundwork for solar energy integration into the national grid, with plans for complete integration by 2030. Likewise, HBCUs like Howard University and Prairie View Agricultural and Mechanical University have partnered with international companies to expand regional implementation of existing solar energy technologies and increase student engagement in the innovation of such technologies.

We invite our HBCU leaders of tomorrow to join ROAR! Global®2024 for HBCU Day globally. This presentation is an invitation to STE(A)M students, law students, and business students to participate in our online think tank that addresses solar energy, agricultural innovation by combining public and private investment with intergenerational participation from both Ghana and the traditional Diaspora.

Join us for a day of celebrating our intellectual genius and the leadership of today and tomorrow in the unique on-line experience specifically designed for our student leaders.

Following the program, we will host ROAR! Global®’s “Leader of Tomorrow” Global Leadership®” Award where we recognize young men and women who have made indelible contributions to the innovations in industry, research, and progress of African and African Diasporan intellectualism and leadership.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
