Lady Dentaa Amoateng MBE, the visionary founder and president of the Grow Unite Build Africa (GUBA) Enterprise, is set to make history as the first Ghanaian to bridge Africa and the Caribbean through her upcoming GUBA Trade & Investment Conference and the prestigious GUBA Awards Ceremony, slated for November 10th, 2025, in Barbados.
This landmark event marks a new chapter in the ongoing mission to reconnect Africa with its diasporic roots, fostering unity, collaboration, and sustainable partnerships between two regions bound by shared heritage and history.
Why Barbados? The Perfect Bridge Between Africa and the Caribbean
Lady Dentaa’s choice of Barbados as the host nation was far from coincidental, it was deeply symbolic and strategic. Barbados, with its rich African heritage and vibrant Caribbean identity, stands as a natural bridge linking the continent and its diaspora.
“Barbados represents a unique meeting point of heritage, culture, and opportunity,” Lady Dentaa explained. “It is not just a beautiful island nation, but a dynamic hub for global business, innovation, and cultural exchange. Hosting the GUBA Awards here allows us to celebrate our shared roots while forging a future built on unity and prosperity.”
Beyond its cultural allure, Barbados has emerged as a growing center for trade, investment, and innovation. Its stable economy, strategic geographic position, and progressive partnerships make it an ideal launchpad for cross-continental collaboration. The island’s flourishing sectors tourism, finance, technology, agriculture, and creative industries offer fertile ground for African and Caribbean entrepreneurs to build mutually beneficial ventures.
The GUBA Vision: Reclaiming Our Atlantic Destiny
This year’s theme, “Reclaiming Our Atlantic Destiny – Connect. Build. Renew.”, captures the very essence of the GUBA mission. It is a call to action urging Africans and the Caribbean diaspora to reconnect ancestral ties, strengthen economic bridges, and collectively shape a renewed global African identity.
The GUBA Trade & Investment Conference will serve as a catalyst for high-level dialogue and partnership. It promises to bring together some of the most influential voices and visionary leaders from across the world, including:
- Heads of State and Government Officials
- Business Leaders and Investors
- Entrepreneurs, Innovators, and Change-Makers
- Cultural Icons, Celebrities, and Influencers
- Captains of Industry & CEOs
- Media and Global Stakeholders
This extraordinary gathering will provide a powerful platform for networking, collaboration, and investment, designed to unlock new pathways for development and shared prosperity across the Atlantic.
The GUBA Awards Ceremony, an integral highlight of the event, will honor outstanding individuals and organizations whose work exemplifies excellence, leadership, and commitment to the advancement of African and Caribbean communities. These awards not only celebrate achievement but also spotlight inspiring stories of resilience, innovation, and transformation.
Since its inception, GUBA has become one of the most respected platforms recognizing excellence within the global African diaspora. Under Lady Dentaa’s leadership, GUBA has previously celebrated luminaries from Ghana, the UK, the USA, and other parts of Africa. Now, by extending this vision to the Caribbean, the organization solidifies its role as a unifying force for global African progress.
Lady Dentaa’s groundbreaking initiative reflects a renewed Pan-African consciousness a vision that transcends geography, economics, and politics. Her unwavering dedication to reconnecting Africa with its descendants across the Atlantic signifies not just a cultural renaissance, but an economic awakening for communities long divided by history yet bound by destiny.
