IBEF was born from the deep conviction that Black people, whatever their origins, can and must appropriate their economic power. We believe that Black African and Afro-descendant populations can create an economic force. Let us imagine that the Black fact is irremediably associated with prosperity from now on.
IBEF is an apolitical organization entirely dedicated to the development and economic enrichment of African and Afro-descendant people. This platform aims to address the financial issues and problems experienced by Black people both locally and internationally by creating a collaborative space for individuals, organizations, elected officials and businesses.
The International Black Economic Forum (IBEF) is an action think tank aimed to improve, accelerate and empower Black communities around the world.
IBEF promotes the economic and social development of Black communities and provides solutions to the economic issues that Black people may experience at the local, national and international levels.
