Global African Business Association, led by President and CEO Akindele Akinyemi, is on a mission to foster a pipeline for two-way business opportunities in community development between investors in Africa and those in the United States.  Global African Business Association (GABA) accomplishes this by becoming a business education, business support network for African- and African-American-based businesses and investors and linking them with a municipality in Michigan and other cities in the United States and cities on the African continent. 

According to Mr. Akinyemi: "We come in as an organization to explain to those stakeholders and say, listen, you need a pipeline to help you get into this country. You need to understand the visa process. You need to understand investor visas. ...And we help them navigate that process to showcase the opportunities and that your nation can play ball in a city like Inkster or a city like Romulus, Michigan, or Detroit.
