GLIPSA 2026

Empowering Continents

Join us at the GLIPSA Summit 2026, where we strengthen connections between American and African Presidents, Captains of Industries, and Industrialists for mutual benefit. The country that aligns closest with Africa in trade will either remain or become the next superpower in the coming years. The US has enjoyed independence from colonial rule for 250 years, while Africa has been independent for 50 years, with some regions still striving for political independence and stability.  


We invite the United States to be a partner ally of Africa, sharing a history of independence, with America leading the way in industrialization. The GLIPSA Summit will synchronize industrialization efforts for both continents, fostering collaboration towards a Golden Age of Industrialization and promoting international business and US Africa trade.

GLIPSA 2026: Global Leadership Investment Peace Summit and Awards in La Porte, TX.

About The Summit

Sustainable Development is a pillar upon which Peace and stability can be built, with Investment serving as the cornerstone of ALL Development. International Business and Direct Investment play a crucial role in helping developing countries confront international competition by boosting their economy, increasing productivity, and enhancing export capacity. These investments also contribute to building a better bilateral trade and investment platform and fostering strong relationships. Multinational companies and economic integration have been effective in the global economy by creating businesses, jobs, and fostering competition between countries.


Youth and women in leadership positions across political and socio-economic platforms have demonstrated their undeniable ability to effectively impact and guide the Continent towards the pinnacle of equality, equity, and development. As their success stories continue to be documented, the impact is clear. It is from this invaluable role that we draw inspiration to organize the GLIPSA Summit, which serves as a veritable platform bringing together a diverse mix of successful global leaders to discuss topics relevant to issues that will educate, inspire, and encourage youth and women to reflect on their individual goals and status as they strive to advance within their various horizons.


On this note, the 4th Edition Global Leadership Investment & Peace Summit Awards (GLIPSA2026) is presented by the United International Peace and Governance Council in collaboration with the Africa International Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the DMARTENA Foundation, and It's Time For Africa Network. This event will unite a diverse mix of successful global leaders and exceptional entrepreneurs to strengthen economic ties between the US and Africa, promoting new ideas, policies, and initiatives, and serving as a liaison between government and independent stakeholders. Overall, the platform strives to promote investment, trade, and capacity building between the US and Africa, heralding the Golden Age of Industrialization for BOTH continents.

Benefits of The Summit

Join us at the GLIPSA Summit to meet African American, African, and Diasporan business owners alongside government leaders as we discuss international business investment opportunities, policy initiatives, and networking. Engage with UN representatives to explore the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and discover how you can implement these goals in your business practices. Present your business opportunities and funding needs during an investor Roundtable, featuring both traditional and non-traditional investors. We aim to stimulate broader inclusiveness between countries to accelerate the realization of a prosperous Africa, with the US as a key ally and partner. Our advocacy efforts will focus on developing job creation and incubation systems for African youth at the grassroots level. The US Africa Trade initiative promotes collaboration between startups and businesses from both continents, highlighted by the establishment of the WREC CENTER (Wealth Redistribution Empowerment Center), which will ensure the effective execution of GLIPSA's policies and initiatives. Gain improved knowledge of available opportunities for trade, investment, and tourism while collaborating with partner countries, institutions, and organizations to achieve vital mandates. This includes building on existing projects that support the pipeline of female talent and innovation, driving entrepreneurship, and promoting women in the workplace as a key option. Explore potential business opportunities between investors aimed at developing cottage industries to boost rural economies and job creation. Recognize world leaders at the event as we confer deserving individuals with the UN SDGs Award and the Leadership Excellence Award. Together, we can help consolidate peace in Africa, promote political stability, uphold government integrity and accountability, and work towards eradicating negative stereotypes of the African community as a whole.

Policies and Initiatives

Policies and Initiatives

United Africa Kingdoms to Unite Africa


The United Africa Sovereign Wealth Kingdom Fund is focused on the monetization of Africa's minerals to fuel infrastructure and economic growth, an initiative led by the UAK. This effort aligns with discussions at the GLIPSA Summit, emphasizing the importance of international business and collaboration.


Reforms in the mining and commodities industry include the establishment of a central government agency to register buyers and sellers, aimed at mitigating fraud and smuggling of minerals. Additionally, a new policy is being introduced to facilitate easier investments in mines, fostering a robust environment for international business.


US geologists are quantifying gold and other African minerals for various purposes, including monetization, mining, and the development of gold-backed currency, which reflects the growing interest in US-Africa trade relations.


Education for gold miners is being prioritized, starting with English proficiency, enabling them to compete adequately on a global stage. This initiative is crucial for enhancing the capabilities of the workforce in the context of international business.


Free trade between the US and Africa is also being advanced, supported by better immigration policies based on the economic value of trade and joint workforce exchanges. These exchanges will work towards developing manufacturing, infrastructure, and other local industries, similar to a new visa category akin to the Trump Card, targeted towards economic growth across sectors.


A new hybrid business model is being developed, where for-profit businesses can be tax-deductible if they serve the public good, particularly in measurable poverty eradication efforts. This model emphasizes how many people it has helped lift out of poverty and create good-paying jobs, aligning with the goals discussed at the GLIPSA Summit.


Further development of raw materials in Africa will involve building factories to refine these resources locally, thereby enhancing the economic landscape in line with US Africa trade initiatives.


Efforts towards digitization of Africa's currency, backed by gold, have been initiated by AICCI, signaling a move towards modern financial systems.


Key sectors such as energy and telecom are being prioritized for development in Africa, alongside the oil and gas industry, to create mutually beneficial trade deals that avoid debt traps while focusing on job creation with fair pay and benefits.


The expansion of the Nairobi Washington Vision aims to include these provisions, ensuring African governments commit to integrity and accountability systems to prevent fraud and abuse by officials.


Improved payment systems between the US and Africa are essential for enhancing trade relations. Furthermore, there will be enhanced measures for updating data collection and maintaining an online database for vetting and screening individuals applying for US visas under the proposed new visa category, fostering a golden age of collaboration between the US and Africa.


The golden age of US and Africa is characterized by a shared history of independence from colonial rule, with the potential for the country most aligned with Africa to become the next superpower.


Securing peace in Africa is vital, with initiatives focusing on peacekeeping, anti-terrorism, and violence prevention through US military support in exchange for minerals. This approach also contributes to poverty eradication in Africa by implementing UN SDGs through favorable US Africa trade relations that genuinely benefit the people of Africa.


Fostering peace in Africa is essential to encourage foreign direct investment and help establish democratic systems with political stability, ultimately promoting investment opportunities.

Summit Topics

The Importance of Africa to the Global Economy is underscored by discussions at the GLIPSA Summit, where key topics include the best financing options for Africa. Should we rely on traditional banking methods, such as the World Bank in the primary financial market, or explore alternative financing in the secondary financial market? This is especially pertinent in the context of the US Africa Trade, which aims to enhance economic partnerships.


The Scramble for Rare Earth Minerals continues to play a critical role in international business, influencing global supply chains and economic strategies. Additionally, the future of oil and gas remains a vital topic as nations look to secure energy resources.


Smart Cities are emerging as the future of urban development, showcasing how technology can transform living spaces. However, what is needed to truly get Africa out of poverty? Addressing these challenges is essential for sustaining peace in Africa.


The achievements of youth and women in entrepreneurship are pivotal in revolutionizing nation-building efforts, highlighting the importance of empowerment in driving economic progress. Furthermore, understanding how to effectively use technology to grow a global business is crucial in today’s interconnected world.


The global monetization of Africa's musical minds also presents significant opportunities for cultural and economic exchange. Meanwhile, food security has become an issue of national security, especially in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.


Lastly, the importance of universal health coverage for developing nations cannot be overstated, as it is foundational to building resilient infrastructures for Africa.
