GATE: AFRICA IN ACTION ON THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC STAGE

• 2025/01/01

What is GATE?
Global African Trade Empowerment (GATE) is a strategic initiative led by The Grand Triangle Inc. to reposition Africa as a key player in global trade.

GATE serves as a registered brand and a reference label for African products, services, and investments, offering a strong identity, a mark of quality, and a competitive advantage in regional and international markets.

Why GATE?
Africa is a continent rich in resources and talent, yet paradoxically, it accounts for only 2% of global trade. However, its consumer market is valued at $2.5 trillion, and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) presents a potential of $3.5 trillion.

GATE is the answer to this imbalance! It enables African entrepreneurs, investors, and industries to access new markets, secure transactions, and enhance global visibility.

Our Objectives
Position Africa as a key player in international trade
Create a strong and recognized brand for African products and services
Facilitate access to regional and international financial markets
Stimulate intra-African trade for sustainable economic growth
Promote African talent and expertise through a quality label

GATE: A Movement, An Opportunity
We invite all African entrepreneurs, industrialists, investors, and project leaders to embrace GATE. Join a dynamic network that is transforming Africa into a global economic powerhouse.

The future starts today. With GATE, let’s open the doors to Africa’s success!
