Dr. Serge Tshibangu

Chairman

Welcome to the US/UK- Africa Business Council. We stand at a pivotal moment in history—a time of generational opportunity for the Democratic Republic of Congo and the African continent.

For many years, I have dedicated myself to academia and public service, and I see this Council as the next vital step in my journey to serve my country and our great continent. Our purpose is clear: to help catalyze the investment and trade that will unlock immense potential, drive sustainable development, and create a future of shared prosperity.

This initiative is not built in a vacuum. It is the culmination of years of collaboration with the most amazing professionals, innovative businesses, visionary leaders, and dedicated changemakers with whom I have had the privilege to meet and work. It is built on the belief that by connecting credible global partners with vetted Congolese and African leaders, we can achieve extraordinary outcomes.

Now, we invite you to be part of this transformative journey. We hope you will join us to chart a new, prosperous future for the DRC and Africa, built on partnership and shared opportunity.

Sincerely,
Dr. Serge Tshibangu
Chairman, US.UK- Africa Business Council
