The African Chamber of Commerce (AFCHAM) is an aspiring leading international business association whose aim is to promote a healthy environment in China. They encourage beneficial connections and enable a platform to help building opportunities between African and Chinese businesses.
AFCHAM also takes very seriously its role in assisting Chinese and African companies to expand their businesses across both continents by providing guidelines, updating with the last businesses and opportunities trends, but also with our strong team of consultants ready to provide you advice and walk with you through all the expansion of your business.
Since its creation, AFCHAM has been focusing on partnering and collaborating with institutions, organizations and individuals who have a deep understanding of African societies and cultures and that are committed to bring positives changes together with Africans. Recently on the 24th of May 2019, AFCHAM has celebrated the second edition of the Annual Gala Dinner for the Africa Day. The theme this year was “Empowering the Youths” to award all the companies, organizations and individuals that have contributed to the development of Africa.
During the event, the African Chamber of Commerce has particularly thanked Alibaba Global Initiatives for their commitment to the development of African societies and for their projects aimed for African youths and entrepreneurs. During AFCHAM Gala Dinner, Alibaba Global Initiative received “Youth Empowerment Award” who was delivered to Vice President Mr. Brian Wong.
Alibaba Global Initiative has launched in February the Alibaba Netpreneur Training program whose goal is to bring Africans entrepreneurs and business leaders together to explore digital innovations that have the power to positively transform their local economies. This program is a valuable opportunity for Africans entrepreneurs who will have a unique chance to learn from one of the best e-commerce leaders in the world.
Partnering with the AFCHAM, Alibaba gives the opportunity to Africans traders and entrepreneurs to access directly to Alibaba Platform and benefit from the digital market showcasing their products and selling them to the Chinese market even without living in China.
AFCHAM through Alibaba Global Initiative will provide African youths the chance to take part of e-commerce training programs and participate to Alibaba Fellowship program enriching their knowledge in fintech, logistics and e-commerce.
This partnership between AFCHAM and Alibaba Global Initiatives is only the beginning of a long and durable history.
