How we help You
Why Africa? Why Now?
Africa is the world’s fastest-growing region for urbanization, youth-led innovation, and consumer expansion. With over 1.4 billion people and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) now operational, the time to establish structured Canada–Africa commercial linkages is now.
Open doors to African High Markets
SGS facilitates Canadian businesses' entry into the broader SADC and COMESA regions, unlocking access to a combined market of over 600 million consumers
Help Canadian businesses diversify beyond saturated markets
Engaging with Africa's dynamic economies allows Canadian businesses to explore new consumer bases, mitigating risks associated with market concentration in traditional markets
Facilitate bilaterial investment flows
By leveraging our networks and expertise, SGS can bridge African investors with Canadian opportunities, enhancing the flow of investments and contributing to economic growth on both continents.
Empower diaspora-led development
We support Canada's African diaspora in fostering economic ties, offering cultural insights and networks that facilitate inclusive development and reinforce global partnerships.
Why Invest In Canada
Canada ranks among the world’s most politically stable and economically resilient nations, with a strong rule of law, low corruption, and robust financial institutions.
With access to over 50 countries through 15+ free trade agreements (including CUSMA, CPTPP, and CETA), Canada offers unmatched connectivity to North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific
From federal tax credits (like SR&ED) to provincial grants and funding programs (like CanExport), Canada actively supports foreign direct investment and innovation-driven growth.
Canada leads in clean tech, AI, agriculture, life sciences, mining, and advanced manufacturing—sectors ripe for African-Canadian partnerships.
A strong African diaspora community creates cultural familiarity, business linkages, and a growing market for Afrocentric goods and services.
