Partners
Services
We de-risk market entry and investment by mapping regulations, verifying suppliers, and arranging high-quality B2B/B2G introductions—so credible projects in energy, blue economy, health, and
logistics can move from idea to execution.
Working on the ground in Mogadishu and Oslo, we align companies with embassies and DFIs, structure pilots/PPAs and feasibility work, and build local skills so Somali SMEs grow into reliable, scalable partners.
Norway-to-Somalia Market Entry
End-to-end support for Norwegian tech and investors: diligence, B2B/B2G matchmaking, pilots/PPAs, and local delivery partners.
Diaspora Investment Readiness
Structured pathways for Nordic-Somali investors: where to invest, policy & tax guidance, verified deal flow, co-investment partners, and after-care.
Support for Somali-Norwegian citizens
We guide Somali-Norwegian citizens to the right consular info and contacts—passports/ID, visas, legalization, civil status, notarization—via the relevant embassies and official portals.
