Africa Trade Awards

The Africa Trade Awards are recognition honours established by the African Trade Chamber to acknowledge individuals, institutions, enterprises, and public authorities whose work has materially shaped Africa's trade and industrial landscape.

The Awards recognise those whose decisions and execution influenced how goods are produced, financed, moved, and exchanged across African markets. They focus on contributions that strengthened industrial capacity, improved market connectivity, enabled cross-border commerce, or delivered systems that are now in use by businesses and institutions across the continent.
