Liberia is set to host a significant trade and investment conference titled “Bridge to Prosperity” in Monrovia from June 17 to 21, 2025.
Organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with the National Investment Commission (NIC) and the Liberia Chamber of Commerce (LCC), the five-day event aims to attract prominent U.S. investors and business leaders to explore opportunities across Liberia’s key economic sectors.
This flagship initiative, a cornerstone of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ economic diplomacy agenda under the leadership of H.E. Sara Beysolow Nyanti, aligns closely with the renewed commercial diplomacy efforts of the Trump Administration in Africa. The conference will feature a dynamic program including panel discussions, business-to-business networking sessions, site visits, and government briefings, all designed to offer U.S. investors comprehensive insights into Liberia’s economic potential and investment-friendly climate.
A special reception will be hosted by the U.S. Ambassador to Liberia to underscore the significance of this bilateral investment drive. Participating U.S. companies will engage in sector-specific site visits, project briefings, and one-on-one meetings with both public and private sector leaders.
The “Bridge to Prosperity” conference is also a strategic pillar of the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID), Liberia’s national development framework. The event highlights the government’s commitment to mobilizing international investment as a means to accelerate job creation, infrastructure development, and economic transformation. Key sectors to be showcased include agriculture, energy, infrastructure, tourism, mining, and the digital economy, among others.
Participants will include senior government officials, international development partners, private sector leaders, U.S. trade delegations, and representatives from multilateral institutions. The conference’s primary goal is to generate concrete commitments that will translate into job creation, technology transfer, and inclusive development. Through this initiative, Liberia continues to chart a forward-looking path in economic diplomacy, aiming to position itself as a gateway for U.S. investors into West Africa.
