About SOMINVEST

SOMINVEST focuses on sector-specific investor targeting and development of new partnerships to enable sustainable investments in Somalia.

SOMINVEST is a specialized and dedicated office, guiding investment in key growth priority sectors, but has also worked hard to support simplification of investment entry barriers such as improving the visa and tax regimes as well as the labor law. Moreover, in developing Somalia as an investment brand in its own right, SOMINVEST’s ‘Brand Somalia’ provides a detailed country profile for investors and strives to positively portray the country oversees while highlighting the country’s competitive products for international markets.
