Hello Cabo Verde was founded by Tony Neves in 2006 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in the United States of America. It was established to serve as a center of business and trade where individuals could connect, create and market for the future. The endeavor began with a variety of goals to span throughout the upcoming years.

These include but are not limited to:
- promotion of travel and tourism in Cabo Verde
- proliferation of Cape Verdean culture throughout the world (primarily through visual arts, musical performances, history)
- organization of, advertisement and consulting for international expositions
- organizing, promoting and conducting events for third parties
- facilitation of networking and socialization for business purposes
- arranging and conducting special events for commercial, promotional or advertising purposes
- expansion of educational/youth opportunities in the Cape Verde Islands

Hello Cabo Verde is interested in community involvement from all corners of the world. Early initiatives for the organization focused on brainstorming and planning the possibilities that international collaborations can create. To develop these possibilities, we have arranged meetings for and accompanied individual investors/organizations/groups (such as the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth International Business Association led by Doctor White and Doctor Ariguzo, Western Connecticut State University, and the CV Care Association led by the association’s President Ines Silva) on their trips to Cabo Verde.
Through its work, Hello Cabo Verde has branched out to several entities. Overseas, this includes Cabo Verde Investments, Cape Verdean financial institutions, Chambers of Commerce, municipalities of Cabo Verde, and the private sector. The Cape Verdean Embassy in Washington D.C and the Consulate in Boston have also encouraged the organization’s goals. Hello Cabo Verde has also been fortunate to have the City of New Bedford’s support through the mayor’s staff, New Bedford Chamber of Commerce and New Bedford Economic Development Council.
In the arena of entertainment, we have arranged for international artists and groups to perform in all major music festivals of Cabo Verde.
Upcoming events will focus on the development of specific markets between Cabo Verde and the United States. Not only will there be results for the proprietors involved, but ultimately for the general community members. The organization will strive to explore ways to form connections between countries, businesses, social/nonprofit organizations, and communities across the Atlantic.
Let Hello Cabo Verde use its experience in Cape Verdean business, networking, travel, major events and advertising via general promotion and our website www.hellocaboverde.com to be your choice as a portal to these opportunities.
