The rise of trade between African countries has become a major economic priority. The implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) is expected to strengthen this dynamic. The Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF), scheduled to take place in Lagos in 2027, aims to connect businesses, promote investments, and support industrialization. Local initiatives, such as training programs, are being established to help SMEs take advantage of the opportunities offered by the African market.
