From all of us at the African Circular Business Alliance (ACBA), we wish you a Happy New Year filled with possibilities, collaborations, and growth!
2023 was a whirlwind of accomplishments for ACBA, and before we sprint into the exciting unknown of 2024, let’s take a moment to highlight some of our wins:
๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ณ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ: ACBA crossed the Atlantic, planting its roots in the United States to connect African circular businesses with the vast US market. This venture not only supports African Diaspora businesses in their circular journey but also bridges the gap between African circular businesses and potential investors. It’s all part of our ambitious Circular Trade and Circular Business Investment Framework Initiative. ๐ https://acba.africa/the-african-circular-business-alliance-acba-expands-to-the-united-states/

๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ: Remember the buzz around the Go-Circular campaign? We integrated fashion & technology to raise awareness about the circular economy in a stylish way. Now, you can rock a branded T-shirt with a thought-provoking circular economy quote or even personalise your own with a message close to your heart!

๐๐ง๐จ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ: In 2023, we delved deep into the world of circularity through insightful articles exploring various aspects of sustainability. From unlocking the potential of geothermal energy in Africa to emphasizing the power of partnerships in intra-African trade, our publications offer valuable insights for shaping a future built on circular principles. ๐ https://acba.africa/category/resource-publication/
๐๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ: Collaboration is key to creating lasting change, and last year, we embraced this wholeheartedly.

๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐: We didn’t just talk the talk in 2023; we walked the walk too! We laid the groundwork for innovative platforms & software that will be unveiled in 2024 and early 2025. Keep an eye out for EmTrack (Emissions Tracking application), iMark (Circular Economy intelligence Market analytical application), and ACBA eD (Circular Economy eLearning Centre). These tools will be game-changers in our collective journey towards a sustainable future. ๐ https://acba.africa/products/
