​Zero Tariffs. Infinite Possibilities.

​Unlock a $290 Billion Opportunity

​The Africa–China Business Exchange is a high-level convening designed to explore how China’s newly introduced zero-tariff policy is reshaping Africa–China trade relations. This transformative policy shift opens the door to an estimated $290 billion in trade potential, spanning strategic sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, digital commerce, and infrastructure.

​As African nations accelerate their pathways to sustainable industrialization and deeper participation in global value chains, China continues to advance economic diplomacy through initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the Forum on China–Africa Cooperation (FOCAC). This event serves as a timely platform to convert shared vision into viable trade, investment, and innovation partnerships.
