(GMT-04:00) Eastern Time (US and Canada)

About

As global supply chains for minerals and critical materials evolve, mining investment across African markets continues to expand. These developments are creating opportunities for U.S. exporters to supply equipment, technologies, and specialized services to support exploration, development, and production activities.

This webinar will highlight priority markets, emerging mining projects, and areas in Ghana, Angola, Zambia and Morocco where U.S. companies can bring competitive solutions to the sector. Participants will also learn about resources available to help U.S. exporters identify opportunities and pursue business in these markets.
