The Zanzibar Investment Summit 2025 will be held from 12 to 15 June 2025 in Micheweni Free Economic Zone, Pemba Island, to promote investment opportunities across key sectors in Zanzibar.
The event is organized by the Zanzibar Investment Promotion Authority (ZIPA) to attract investors to Pemba and position the island as a strategic business and trade hub in the Indian Ocean region.
The summit will feature exhibitions, panel discussions, business-to-business meetings, and site visits to investment locations.
Targeted sectors include tourism and hospitality, agriculture and agribusiness, blue economy and fisheries, infrastructure and real estate, renewable energy, and digital economy.
The summit will be officiated by H.E. Dr. Hussein Ali Mwinyi, President of Zanzibar, and will gather government officials, policymakers, global investors, and private sector stakeholders.
According to ZIPA, investors will be presented with the full range of incentives available in Zanzibar, including 100% foreign ownership, tax exemptions, and duty-free imports, especially for projects within Free Economic Zones such as Micheweni.
Pemba Island, historically known for clove farming, is undergoing strategic transformation as part of Zanzibar’s efforts to diversify its economy and promote sustainable development.
ZIPA is responsible for facilitating investment in Zanzibar and managing Free Economic Zones, offering support to investors from project registration to implementation.
