Boilerplate
The Cocoa Bridge Alliance (CBA) is a non-profit organization incorporated in Connecticut, United States, that connects West African cocoa origin with global science, industry, and markets. Through five program pillars — research, processing at origin, economic diplomacy, cooperatives and inclusion, and academic programs — CBA works to keep more of cocoa's value in producing countries, notably by developing derivative sectors such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, nutrition, biomaterials, and the circular economy. CBA organizes the Cocoa Innovation & Derivatives Summit (CIDS), whose 2027 edition will be held in Fall 2027 in Connecticut, USA.
