On 14 and 15 May 2026, we attended the 13th Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, Rwanda, alongside more than 2,800 business leaders, investors and policymakers from 70 countries. The question at the heart of the event: how does Africa move from potential to scale?
Represented by our CEO, Alioune Ciss, and VP Sales, Pascaline Berwa Ndayambaje, we joined conversations on industrialisation, regional value chains, artificial intelligence and Africa's growing economic sovereignty in an increasingly complex global environment.
Trade sits at the centre of each of these themes. Regional value chains depend on goods moving efficiently across borders. Industrialisation needs reliable access to inputs and markets. And economic sovereignty is strengthened when countries can collect revenue effectively and make decisions based on their own data.
We strongly believe that technology and AI-driven trade facilitation will play a critical role in helping governments and economies scale with greater confidence, efficiency and resilience. Digital Customs and trade systems reduce delays and costs for businesses, while giving governments the visibility they need to manage trade well.
