OPEN WEBINAR

Making Cross-Border Trade Easy in Africa Through Digital Solutions

Practical digital tools and trade support helping African entrepreneurs reach new markets across borders

Trading across an African border still means paperwork, delays and uncertainty for many small businesses.

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is opening the door to a single continental market, and a growing set of digital tools and trade support services is making it easier for entrepreneurs to reach it.

This free DigiBiz.Africa Open Webinar looks at practical ways small businesses are using digital solutions to trade across borders, and the support available to help them get started.
