Platform Launch

Africa Chamber
Connect

Africa Chamber Connect (ACC) is the primary reason Prosperity Africa 7 matters beyond its three days. It is a verified digital trade platform — built on PACCI's existing Connect Africa infrastructure — that connects African SMEs, chambers, banks, and the AfCFTA framework through a single, credible system.

At Monrovia, ACC launches formally with 25+ organisations onboarded. Every Deal Room, every B2B appointment, every chamber commitment at the conference is an ACC activation point. The platform runs for 24 months after the final session closes.

Verified Identity

Three-Level Business Verification

Basic KYC → Standard (financial history) → Finance-Ready (full AfCFTA compliance certification). Every business on ACC has a verifiable cross-border identity. The Finance-Ready credential at Level 3 opens the door to pre-qualified SME trade finance.

Digital CoO · Revenue from Day 1

Digital Certificates of Origin

Chamber-issued, AfCFTA-preferential, electronically recognised. Built on the ICC World Chambers Federation framework piloted by PACCI in September 2024. CoO issuance is live revenue for chambers from the day ACC deploys in their system.

Finance Gateway

Finance-Ready SME Pipeline

A Level 3 verified ACC profile transforms any chamber's member database into a pre-qualified lending pool. Banks and DFIs access trade-active, KYC-validated SMEs — reducing origination cost and unlocking markets that were previously too expensive to reach individually.

PAPSS Integration

Local Currency Payments

PAPSS — the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System — is integrated as ACC's default payment rail. Intra-African B2B transactions matched through ACC settle in local currencies. No hard currency required. Demonstrations live at Monrovia.

Business Matching

Needs-Based Buyer-Vendor Matching

Pre-scheduled 30-minute appointments matched against verified trade profiles and stated sourcing requirements. Not a directory. A structured transaction system that produces documented leads and trackable deals.

🏗

Build real infrastructure

ACC onboarding, Finance-Ready verification, and digital CoO issuance activate the day after the conference closes.

Implementation Partnerships

This is not sponsorship.
This is co-investment.

Partners do not buy visibility at a conference. They co-invest in a 24-month implementation platform that generates revenue, verifies businesses, and produces measurable trade outcomes — with their name embedded in the infrastructure, not the event.
