ACEIF is a Pan-African platform with a bottom up approach, starting at a community level up to the national level, toward regional economic blocks, with a sole purpose to create a more friendly and interconnected market for Africa’s CCIs. ACEIF creates tangible impact, unlocks business opportunities across, and beyond the African continent. ACEIF presents tremendous opportunities for local communities, artists, creatives, entrepreneurs, the
startup ecosytem, and African countries. ACEIF leverages on the quality of our gathering of global leaders, doers, artists, creatives, influencers, and
others, to share best practices, collaborate, co-build innovative solutions for challenges like easy mobility, market access, and access to finance, for the growth of African CCI practitioners, and an African creative economy contributing significantly to Africa’s GDP.
