The President & CEO of the Del York International Group, Mr. Linus Idahosa is attending the ongoing U.S Africa Leaders’ Summit, a gathering of some of the world’s most influential political and economic leaders from across the United States and Africa.
The event, a gathering of Presidents from several African countries amongst others is being hosted by the US President Mr. Joe Biden and is seen as the foremost forum for deliberations between the United States of America and countries in Africa on many hot-button topics ranging from trade and commerce, infrastructure funding and development, entertainment and the creative industry, technology, and education to mention a few.

His engaging perspectives on the subject matter delivered greater insights into the plethora of untapped opportunities available throughout the African creative industry ecosystem as he legislated for the establishment of platforms to assist in the funding and capacity building of the industry.
