Industries using ACE

One shared infrastructure. Many industries. Each industry runs its own application on ACE — with its own rules, participants, documents and market functions — while connecting to the same identity, registration, verification and payment systems.

ACE is not a single market for one sector. It is shared digital infrastructure for African trade in services.

Each industry brings its own participants — producers, service providers, practitioners, buyers, authorities. ACE provides the common systems that every industry needs: identity, registration, documentation, verification, certification, logistics coordination, payment coordination, and a verifiable record of every transaction.

Industry-specific applications sit on top of that shared base. A producer registers once and can trade across sectors. A buyer enters once and can discover products and services across the whole platform.

One market. Multiple industries.
