Ancestral is privately owned cross-continental institution that has emerged for the purpose of contributing to instituting of a robust and enduring African Marketplace.
Guided by her Vision to emerge as the ‘preferred channel for the exchange of goods and services within Africa and between Africa and other continents’ Ancestral hinges her operational structure on the principle of partnerships in our continent for a common prosperity.
Our structures are established to expose, empower, and connect Africa’s 44 million small and medium enterprises so Africans can see Africa and transact within Africa.
Majority of our work runs across ecosystems that dominate the lives of ordinary Africans;
The value of the Ancestral Institution is sharpened by key partnerships that leverage rapid advancements in technology in building our desired African marketplace, as well as an African platform that allows Africans build enduring bridges of trust.
African unity is of utmost importance as it can have a significant impact on the development, progress and stability of the African continent.
The growing existential threats facing our continent occasioned by global natural catastrophes, population growth and geopolitical conflicts challenge us to approach the issue of sustainability in a broader context. What must Africa do to sustain itself?
Africa is offered an opportunity to face these threats by embracing the gift of our common Ancestry. Our diversity is a strength that can be harnessed driven by the need to share our prosperity and build structures that empower our communities, connect them and transact within in all facets of our lives.
Our partnerships with the Festac Africa Renaissance Project and Brij Innovations Limited are underscored by these considerations.
Bridge Technologies Ltd (T/A)Brij provides a real-time payments infrastructure to power cross-border transactions across Africa in local currencies.
"I am confident your role in breaking our SME's through into the AfCFTA prospects, no matter how far-fetched they may seem now, will get a meritorious mention when the history of the socioeconomic transformation of Africa in the context of the AfCFTA is written. Let's stay in touch."
"There was a sense of resonance with Brij from the first meeting between our companies. The promise of direct convertibility of African currencies is powerful in the context of our drive to build an African connected marketplace.""
"Brij has committed to deploying technology in helping the 44m plus African smallholder community gain access to a strong consuming community. What was attractive about Ancestral is her commitment to helping African producing communities emerge and transact."
Organized by Ancestral's partner #Compassglobal1 our African SME heroines whom each day artfully balance their homebuilding responsibilities with their creative and productive talents, came from communities in West Africa to join hands with their East African counterparts.
