Hubs To Catalyse Business Across Africa And The Caribbean

They say that perception matters. This Thursday, Nigeria will witness the opening of the first Afreximbank African Trade Centre AATC, a state-of-the-art twin nine-storey office and business hotel complex.

The Abuja AATC offers a new perspective to creating clusters that will help cement business opportunities, change mindset and elevate the business environment across our continent.

Why does this commercial development matter? It does because as the first of many across Africa, it will create new benchmarks in real estate and in corporate workspaces. And in an increasingly turbulent world, fraught with uncertainty and increased isolationism bringing African solutions to transform our continent has become an urgent imperative.

Despite some setbacks and a shift in priorities, building a sustainable future must be at the core of African policy. This world-class facility designed to transform Africa's trade and investment landscape incorporates the very best of green-certified architecture, aligning with global environmental standards.

The development has an office tower and a 148-bed bespoke four-star business hotel. Boasting top-tier business and trade facilities, it will provide dedicated spaces for trade exhibitions, SME incubation, and conference and business amenities. Connections catalyse action.
