The One Movement, Tropic Agency and Regal Gold Trading join forces to build new opportunities in Africa–UAE gold trade and investment
Dubai, United Arab Emirates September 2026
A new chapter is taking shape between Africa and the United Arab Emirates.
The One Movement, in collaboration with Tropic Agency, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Regal Gold Trading, led by Anthony Koufos, Founder & Owner, marking a new step toward strengthening connections between African gold opportunities and the UAE’s international trading ecosystem.
This partnership is built around a simple but powerful vision:
to create trusted bridges between African resources, international markets and strategic partners in the United Arab Emirates.
With more than 15 years of experience in the gold business, Anthony Koufos has developed direct experience working with African sellers and international buyers. According to Regal Gold Trading, the company was established in Dubai in 2024 to operate in gold buying and trading, with a focus on supporting transactions involving African gold and navigating the export, import and trading process.
From African resources to international opportunities
For The One Movement, this collaboration goes beyond gold.
The Movement is being developed as a platform connecting Africa and the UAE across strategic sectors, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, governments, mining stakeholders, private-sector leaders and international partners.
Gold represents one of the first major pillars of this vision.
Africa possesses extraordinary natural resources, while Dubai has established itself as one of the world’s major international commercial and trading hubs.
The opportunity lies in connecting these two realities through trust, professionalism, responsible business relationships and structured international cooperation.
A strategic role for Tropic Agency
As a communication and strategic development platform, Tropic Agency will contribute to strengthening the relationship between African stakeholders and UAE-based partners, supporting visibility, communication, business introductions and the development of strategic opportunities.
The objective is not simply to facilitate transactions.
It is to help create an ecosystem where credible relationships can become long-term partnerships.
Building trust in the gold sector
The gold industry requires more than access to buyers and sellers.
It requires due diligence, documentation, regulatory awareness, transparency and trusted counterparties.
Regal Gold Trading states that it works directly with African sellers and emphasizes transparency, security and direct involvement throughout the transaction process. The company also states that it operates with its own Dubai import/export and refinery arrangements rather than relying on third-party licenses or refinery accounts.
For The One Movement and Tropic Agency, this approach is aligned with a broader objective:
creating more structured and trusted pathways between African producers, sellers and international markets.
Africa × UAE — Beyond Business
The partnership reflects a larger philosophy.
Africa should not only be seen as a source of raw materials.
It should be seen as a continent of opportunity, talent, resources, entrepreneurship and long-term investment potential.
The UAE, and particularly Dubai, can serve as a meeting point where African opportunities connect with international capital, expertise, technology and global markets.
Through The One Movement, this new collaboration will explore opportunities not only in gold trading, but also across mining, strategic minerals, investment, international business development and Africa–UAE economic relations.
A partnership with a long-term vision
The meeting between Yuston Nessy, founder of The One Movement and Tropic Agency, and Anthony Koufos, Founder & Owner of Regal Gold Trading, represents more than a business meeting.
It represents a shared belief that the future of Africa–UAE relations can be built through relationships, trust and action.
From the African continent to Dubai.
From natural resources to global markets.
From individual opportunities to strategic partnerships.
A new golden corridor is taking shape.
And this is only the beginning.

Connecting Africa. Connecting the UAE. Connecting Opportunity.
