The Unified State Group (USG) embodies transformative power and innovation in international economic development, with a particular focus on Africa and other emerging markets. Our operations are not simply focused on creating change but aim to redefine economic development itself, driven by new technology, unity, collaboration, and innovative targeted action. Central to our approach is Ethel, an advanced AI-driven CRM tool that enables us to identify and leverage opportunities for economic growth on a global scale.
USG was founded by NBA Hall-of-Famer Dikembe Mutombo, Isaac Barnes, Richard Hoffman, Tyreek Moore, and Maryan Ali. Our founders’ accomplishments include securing a $13.4 billion defense contract with the Pentagon, White House, and Department of State, the spearheading of NBA Africa, ethical mining projects, and much more. One of our principal projects is AQUAtap™️, a cutting-edge, solar-powered water purification system we introduced to the DRC in recent years. Today, AQUAtap™️ serves people of the DRC with clean water as well as innovative payment methods for purchasing water.
