Trade Connect Gateway exists to remove the friction between African businesses and the global markets that need what they produce.
African producers make world-class goods, and global buyers are searching for reliable new sources. Too often the two never meet. TCG was founded to close that gap — a single, trusted gateway that handles the introductions, the logistics and the follow-through.
With hubs in Kampala and Istanbul, we sit at the crossroads of African supply and international demand. We organise trade missions, run B2B matchmaking rooms, build country pavilions at major exhibitions, and walk with our members from first handshake to signed contract.
To empower African businesses to compete and win internationally by connecting them with the buyers, investors, partners and platforms that accelerate growth.
An Africa whose enterprises are fully integrated into global value chains — exporting confidently, attracting investment, and shaping trade rather than just supplying it.
Every buyer, supplier and investor we introduce is vetted. Relationships are built to last.
A network spanning Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia — opened for our members.
We measure success in deals closed, exports shipped and jobs created — not just meetings held.
We work alongside governments, chambers and institutions to amplify what's possible.
Every program is designed around one outcome: helping our members grow faster.
From digital matchmaking to market intelligence, we bring modern tools to age-old trade.
We learn your products, capacity and target markets to define the right opportunity.
We identify and vet the buyers, suppliers and investors that fit your objectives.
We arrange missions, exhibitions and scheduled B2B meetings — and handle logistics.
We support negotiation, follow-up and ongoing market access so deals actually happen.
Whether you're an exporter, investor or institution, TCG gives you a trusted gateway to opportunity across continents.
