“The Africa Business Portal, unique among organizations in my experience, focuses on building commercial bridges between U.S and African companies doing business ethically and in conformance with the FCPA guidelines. ABP also “gets” the importance of relationships

in business success, and strives to ensure its clients have every opportunity to get to know each other – and therefore work together

with confidence.”
