The Beginning – 2020
Belfort Market was founded in 2020 with a bold vision: to create a pioneering Algerian e-commerce platform inspired by the strengths of Amazon for retail and Alibaba for wholesale. The goal was clear — to connect individuals, professionals, and businesses on a single platform, making modern commerce accessible and efficient nationwide.

Early Development – 2022
By 2022, Belfort Market earned official recognition as a startup in Algeria, marking a significant milestone. 

Challenges and Lessons
Like many ambitious ventures, the first iteration faced considerable challenges. Market readiness, technical limitations, and evolving economic conditions highlighted the need for a stronger foundation and a more flexible model. These lessons became the cornerstone for the next phase of growth.

A New Opportunity – 2025
In June 2025, a transformative government measure legalized micro-importation for auto-entrepreneurs, unlocking new possibilities for small businesses and independent sellers. This milestone provided the perfect environment for Belfort Market to evolve into a new version aligned with this emerging ecosystem.

The Relaunch – August 14, 2025
On August 14, 2025, Belfort Market will unveil its new platform:

• A modern, professional, and simple marketplace

• Designed for auto-entrepreneurs, artisans, and small businesses

• Supporting both retail and wholesale activities

• Offering tools for visibility, secure transactions, and sustainable growth

This new chapter positions Belfort Market as a key player in Algeria’s digital commerce landscape, fostering entrepreneurship and innovation for the future.
