African Diaspora Network (ADN) is pleased to announce the opening of its Washington, D.C. office, marking an important milestone in the organization’s continued growth and expanding its presence beyond its longtime headquarters in Silicon Valley, California.
Founded in 2010, ADN has spent the past fifteen years mobilizing Africans, descendents of Africa, and friends of Africa to advance entrepreneurship, investment, philanthropy, knowledge exchange, and partnerships that drive sustainable development across the African continent and the communities the diaspora live. Today, ADN’s global community reaches more than 50,000 entrepreneurs, investors, philanthropists, scientists, policymakers, and changemakers across 115 countries.
The decision to establish a permanent presence in Washington reflects ADN’s long-term strategy to deepen engagement where diaspora communities live, work, and lead. That vision was further strengthened following the organization’s successful 10th Anniversary African Diaspora Investment Symposium (ADIS), hosted in Washington, D.C. in 2025, which convened leaders from government, philanthropy, business, academia, civil society, and the diaspora to explore new approaches to investment, innovation, and sustainable development.
ADN’s Washington office is located within the Open Gov Hub, a collaborative coworking community and event space that supports organizations working across the for-good, governance, transparency, and international development sectors. ADN looks forward to actively participating in the Hub’s collaborative community while building new partnerships, sharing knowledge, and contributing to collective efforts that create lasting impact.
With offices now on both coasts, ADN is well positioned to strengthen relationships with policymakers, foundations, corporations, multilateral organizations, academic institutions, and diaspora communities while advancing its “Beyond Remittances” vision—recognizing the African diaspora not simply as a source of financial remittances, but as a strategic partner in entrepreneurship, philanthropy, innovation, investment, and sustainable development.
As ADN begins this next chapter, the organization looks forward to becoming an active participant in Washington’s vibrant U.S.-Africa ecosystem through convenings, partnerships, thought leadership, and collaborative initiatives that connect local and global leaders working to shape Africa’s future.
Founded in Silicon Valley and now with a presence in Washington, D.C., ADN remains committed to building bridges across sectors and geographies, strengthening diaspora engagement, and creating opportunities for collaboration that benefit both Africa and the communities where the diaspora lives around the world.
