Algerian Enterprises Secure Major Export Contracts at IATF 2025, Boosting Intra-African Trade
The recently concluded Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF 2025) in Algiers has marked a significant milestone for Algeria’s economic ambitions, particularly in fostering robust trade ties across the continent. Held at the prestigious Exhibition Palace, the fair culminated on Wednesday, September 10, with its final days witnessing a flurry of activity. A highlight was the prolific signing of numerous export agreements between a diverse range of Algerian public and private sector companies and their African counterparts, signalling a new era of intra-African commerce and cooperation.
Strategic Partnerships Pave the Way for Enhanced African Exports
A pivotal moment during the IATF 2025 occurred on Tuesday, September 9, which served as the fair’s sixth day. This day was dedicated to formalizing strategic alliances, with multiple Algerian enterprises successfully penning agreements designed to facilitate the export of their diverse product portfolios into various African markets. The signing ceremonies were high-profile events, graced by the presence of several government officials. Key figures included Omar Rekkache, the Director General of the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency (AAPI), and Kamel Moula, President of the Algerian Economic Renewal Council (CREA), underscoring the national importance placed on these new trade avenues. According to reports from the APS agency, these agreements are set to invigorate Algeria’s export landscape. Among the most notable achievements, the Géant Electronics group, a key player in the African tech sector, secured substantial contracts totaling an impressive $11 million. These landmark deals were forged with businesses from Niger, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe, specifically for their electronic products, highlighting the growing demand for Algerian-made technology and consumer electronics across Africa.
The successful outcomes of IATF 2025 reflect Algeria’s proactive stance in integrating deeper into the African free trade area and leveraging its industrial capabilities for continental growth. These newly established export channels are poised to not only stimulate Algeria’s economy but also contribute significantly to strengthening regional supply chains and promoting greater economic independence within Africa. The fair has undeniably laid a strong foundation for future collaborations, positioning Algerian companies as significant contributors to Africa’s burgeoning market.
