Word from the President
It is with great pride and heartfelt joy that I welcome you to the African Chamber of Commerce Nordics (ACCN), a subsidiary of the African Women’s Lobby. ACCN was founded on the belief that stronger ties between Africa and the Nordic countries can unlock extraordinary opportunities for education, trade, innovation, and sustainable development.
Our Chamber serves as a bridge—uniting the vibrant African diaspora, forward-thinking African Nordic businesses, local and international partners in one dynamic platform. Together, we aim to foster educational programs, entrepreneurship, strengthen partnerships, and create pathways for investment that benefit both regions.
The Nordics are globally recognized for innovation, sustainability, and social progress, while Africa holds boundless potential as one of the world’s fastest-growing regions. By combining these strengths, ACCN seeks to address shared challenges, champion inclusive growth, and harness opportunities that promote prosperity for all.
As immigrants and visionaries, many of us understand both the promise and the struggles of navigating new business landscapes. ACCN exists to empower this journey—by providing information, building networks, facilitating trade, and advocating for policies that uplift our members and communities.
We invite you to become part of this mission: to connect, to collaborate, and to grow with us. Whether you are a citizen looking for courses and support, an entrepreneur seeking markets, a researcher developing solutions,, or a partner looking to invest, ACCN is your trusted ally in building bridges between Africa and the Nordics.
Let us write the next chapter together—one defined by collaboration, innovation, and opportunity. Become a member, join our community, and get involved today.
Warm regards,
Gisma Ruphael Mou Mou
President and Founder
