Our Mission
African Economic Development Solutions (AEDS) builds wealth within African immigrant communities through economic development activities. We work throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area to create wealth, lift immigrant communities out of poverty, and contribute to and benefit from the region’s vibrant economy.
About This Event
The African Economic Development Solutions invites you and your institution to support and participate in the 5th National African Leadership Conference.
Hosted virtually, the 2023 event was a tremendous success, with African leaders from across Minnesota and the country going to their allies in critical discussions on issues of most concern and opportunities for African communities. Back by popular demand, we are excited to engage leaders nationwide in August 2024.
We hope you and your institution will seize this tremendous occasion to connect with Africans across the country. We look forward to your support and participation.
