Register to attend

Join the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Governors & Premiers (GSGP) trade mission to South Africa and Kenya February 11-17, 2027.

South Africa and Kenya serve as strategic gateways to the African continent, offering access to both established and rapidly growing markets. South Africa, the continent's most industrialized economy, presents opportunities in manufacturing, mining, agribusiness, automotive, industrial equipment, and infrastructure development, while Kenya is East Africa's leading commercial and logistics hub with strong demand across technology, healthcare, infrastructure, agriculture, energy, and consumer products. Together, these markets provide access to key regional trade blocs, including SADC, SACU, EAC, COMESA, and AfCFTA, creating a platform for companies seeking growth throughout Africa.

The goal of this mission is to assist small to medium-sized companies from the Great Lakes St. Lawrence region to export products and services to these important markets. Each mission participant will receive a customized schedule of B2B meetings with prospective customers and business partners.

Registration Deadline: November 4, 2026
