Africa: challenge launched to link innovators, SMEs with funding

November 25th, 2020 – Innovators and SMEs in Africa are set to enjoy a global one-stop technology platform that will link them to possible sponsors for their innovative projects that can boost trade across Africa.

The Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat platform dubbed AfCFTA App will issue a mark of identity to every organisation or business interested in benefiting from AfCFTA.

This is aimed at easing ways of doing business and getting partnerships across Africa, export and import goods under the low duty regime and satisfy “know-your-customer” requirements at banks and financial institutions.
