About Us Welcome to Africa International Trade & Commerce Research (AITCR) -- The Africa Trade Link.

For centuries, economists have written extensively about buying and selling goods and services across national borders, known as international trade, and how it is the driving force that has modelled nations and organisations’ economic prosperity.

It is now crucial that organisations devise strategies to increase their business activities across Africa to benefit and leverage the economic prosperity and connectivity currently experienced throughout the continent. With the operationalisation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement, African countries have legal backing to increase trade and investment across the continent for its economic, social and political advancement and diversifying its productivity, technology, science, education, transport, telecommunication, retail, broadband and internet, infrastructure, healthcare and much more. Africa International Trade and Commerce Research offers organisations the opportunity to use our services to engage in business activities across Africa in this era of economic liberalisation.

 

We look forward to doing great things with you
 anywhere in the world.
