“The first Somalia International Investment Conference will provide an opportunity for the Somalia government to showcase investment opportunities, sectoral studies, and the general business and investment climate in Somalia to the world. In this platform, both the Somalia government and the private sector wish to engage potential investors and share progress made in improving the business environment, the legislative drive that guarantees investments protection in its journey towards socio-economic and political recovery, strengthening the economic development institutions, and unlocking the potential and entrepreneurship spirit of the Somali people.
Somalia has enormous resources and this conference will send a clear and loud message to the world that Somalia is open for business and investment. Somalia is positioning itself as an investment destination and a valuable trade partner. This conference, therefore, will unveil potentially unique investment cases and sectors so that investors could explore such opportunities for further feasibility studies and investment consideration.
The President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is expected to officially kick off the conference. The Minister of Planning, Investment and Economic Development of Somalia will also join the heads of state, investors, and other dignitaries in this event and later host a cocktail reception for investors and delegations.”
