About

Our Vision

We envision a world where women in trade finance lead, innovate, and make a lasting impact on global trade.

Our Mission

The Women in Trade Finance Network is a global initiative committed to elevating the role of women in African trade finance. Through structured networking, mentorship, and educational opportunities, we empower professionals to excel in their careers, influence industry discussions, and promote an inclusive trade finance ecosystem.

Our Story

Established in 2023, the Women in Trade Network was created to address the lack of representation and support for women in Africa’s trade and finance sectors.

In our inaugural year, we:
Hosted impactful events bringing together top industry professionals in London, Cape Town, Kenya and Nairobi.
Connected over 300 women in trade finance across Africa.
Forged strategic partnerships with leading institutions such as GTR, Investec, and Pangea Risk.

We continue to expand our reach, providing women with the tools and opportunities to thrive in trade finance.
