Who we are

Built on AfCFTA expertise and African trade

TradeBridge Africa was founded in Douala, Cameroon, to address a gap that we witnessed firsthand: hundreds of businesses producing world-class goods, Cameroon cocoa, fine rubber, hardwood timber, and premium Arabica coffee, who could not export under AfCFTA because they did not know how.

We are the only bilingual, doctoral-level AfCFTA advisory firm in Central Africa. Our team brings together deep academic expertise in trade policy with operational knowledge of Cameroon's actual export procedures  GUCE, CCIMA, CAMCIS, and the full Douala port documentation chain.

We are embedded in the Silicon Mountain ecosystem in Buea and maintain institutional relationships with CEPI, CNSC, CCIMA, and the Ministry of Commerce.
