Colombia’s Black Business Hub Seeks to Learn From Atlanta on Inclusion

Cali Mayor Alejandro Eder Garces, left, met with New York City Mayor Eric Adams this week. Mr. Eder is also looking to deepen ties with Atlanta and is inviting mayors to attend the U.N. Biodiversity Conference in Cali later this year.

Almost a year after 20 local Black-owned businesses took a historic trade mission to Cali, Colombia, the city’s new mayor is looking to Atlanta as a model for inclusive business.
