The NC–Africa
Transatlantic Corridor
A sovereign-grade bilateral integration framework — connecting North Carolina's $680 billion economy to 54 African markets through trade architecture, procurement access, institutional investment, and infrastructure development.
Four Integration Pillars
Each corridor program addresses a distinct dimension of transatlantic integration — from commercial trade to sovereign capital deployment.
NC–Africa Trade Corridor
A structured bilateral trade program connecting North Carolina's $680 billion economy with 54 African sovereign markets — through deal flow support, compliance guidance, and institutional business matchmaking.
Sovereign Procurement
Connecting AfDEC-certified enterprises directly to African government procurement pipelines — public infrastructure, healthcare, defense supply chains, and national digitization programs.
Investment Program
AfDEC's structured investment program — connecting NC investors and capital to African businesses, government bonds, and growth funds through verified channels and bilateral partnerships.
Engineering & Construction (EPC)
Deploying NC's world-class engineering and construction capacity into Africa's $170 billion annual infrastructure gap — through AfDEC-facilitated project finance, contractor certification, and development bank partnerships.
