FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A global convening where visionary ideas, geopolitical clarity, and public-private ambition converged to redefine value creation for the decade ahead.


(Miami, USA – January 2025)
— CBSegroup, the consulting arm of DotConnectAfrica,  is pleased to announce its invitation to the prestigious FII PRIORITY Miami 2025 Summit, a flagship global forum powered by the FII Institute that brings together world leaders, investors, policymakers, and industry pioneers to design solutions that transcend geographies and sectors.  While not in attendance, due to conflicting engagements, CBSegroup followed the proceedings remotely and offered leadership reflections on the summit’s key insights.

This year, under the theme “Invest with Purpose,” the Summit advanced bold frameworks for economic resilience, public-private collaboration, and long-term global prosperity. CBSegroup participated remotely through the official digital dashboard, engaging with real-time sessions, policy insights, and keynote reflections from global decision-makers.

Anchored Insight From the Summit

The historic opening address by President Donald J. Trump set a decisive tone for 2025’s economic landscape, touching on diplomacy, national strength, and the role of moral leadership in global stability.  From her leadership vantage point, Sophia Bekele, Founder of CBSegroup, noted several statements that resonated deeply with her long-standing advocacy for sovereign governance and ethical strategy:

“You can end a war when both sides don’t talk.”

  • “I hope my legacy is one of a peacemaker and unifier.”

  • “We prioritize America first. Once we are strong and thriving, we can extend our help to others.”

These insights echo a universal leadership principle:
Strengthen your foundation, then uplift others — whether nations, institutions, or individuals.
