Engage Trade Africa is a business matchmaking and industry development event organised by Catalyze that create links between African Exporters, the U.S. and African buyers; increasing intra-Africa trade and U.S.-Africa trade through the utilisation of AGOA and building relationships through engaging activities and honest sharing of experiences.

Engage Trade Africa focuses on pre-arranged meetings between African Exporters and Buyers from Africa, the U.S. and other International Markets. Business Matchmaking Meetings are carefully targeted to ensure high-probability outcomes.

- 150+ Hosted Buyers - 250+ African Exporters - 100+ Associations- 2,500+ B2B Meetings - 15,000+ Engagements Engage Trade Africa does not offer exhibition stands where companies sit around waiting, praying and hoping for a buyer to walk past. We organise meetings before the event and provide a meeting lounge area where B2B meetings rotate every 20 minutes, ensuring exporters and buyers are engaging throughout the day, increasing knowledge of the industry ecosystem and sourcing new opportunities.
