Africa is Building Its Digital Trade Future !!!
The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) has launched ADAPT (Africa Digital Access and Public Infrastructure for Trade) — a revolutionary digital backbone to streamline trade across the continent.
What is ADAPT?
A pan-African platform using distributed ledger tech (DLT) and AI to digitize cross-border trade
Why it matters:
Intra-African trade is only ~17% of total trade — ADAPT aims to boost that
Billions lost each year due to manual processes and duplication
By 2035, ADAPT could:
Unlock $70B+ in new trade
Double intra-African trade
Give SMEs better access to payments and financing
Bottom line:
Africa is no longer watching the digital economy from the sidelines — it’s building the infrastructure to lead.
If ADAPT scales successfully, it could be a game-changer not just for trade, but for economic empowerment.
