The Diaspora Ecosystem refers to the globally connected network of U.S.-based technology firms that are led by, serve, or are deeply rooted in diaspora communities—especially those with cultural, familial, or business ties to international regions. These ecosystems are defined not solely by family of origin, but by a shared ability to bridge domestic innovation with global markets, supply chains, and trade corridors.

CEBOT identifies and supports over 65,000 U.S. technology enterprises within this ecosystem, collectively generating more than $110 billion in annual revenue and employing over 550,000 professionals worldwide. These firms operate at the intersection of global innovation, inclusive economic development, and international commerce.

Both the Small Business Act and the
Business Opportunity Development Reform Act of 1988 were designed to give a boost to small businesses.  These laws emphasizes the need for geographical and industrial opportunity for all, and  encourages growth and owner sustainability.

With a mix of loans, contract awards, and training assistance, these acts aim to ensure U.S. businesses can compete fairly in both America's economy as well as globally. This event explores how these Acts, and the programs they enable create an enriched environment for CEBOT's members.
