About the Africa Trade Summit
The Africa Trade Summit 2026 is the continent's premier platform for advancing industrialization, trade, and investment. Organized by the African Trade Chamber in partnership with the Government of Ghana, the Summit brings together decision-makers shaping Africa's economic transformation under the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the African Union's Agenda 2063.
