A Forward-Looking Vision Anchored in Sustainability and Inclusion

In his keynote address, Minister Damry outlined a new economic model guided by investment, innovation and inclusion, underpinned by the transversal principles of social justice, climate justice and gender justice. He reaffirmed Mauritius’s commitment to building future-proof sectors, including financial services, the blue economy and sustainable development.

 

A key highlight of the Forum was Mauritius’s ambitious goal to mobilise USD 6.5 billion for climate-related infrastructure projects. These include water management, renewable energy, coastal protection and waste treatment—with two-thirds of the funding expected from international partners.

 

Streamlining Permits & Simplifying the Path for Foreign Stakeholders

A central message of the Forum was Mauritius’s renewed commitment to creating a more agile, investor-friendly environment through the simplification of administrative procedures.

 

Minister Damry highlighted ongoing government efforts to simplify and fast-track administrative procedures for investment and work permits – a move designed to enhance the ease of doing business for international entrepreneurs. Mauritius’s positioning as a strategic and secure base for operations into Africa was a recurring theme throughout the Forum.

 

Key figures in attendance included:

• Mrs. Céline Gouveia, Vice President Identity Sales Government Programs, IN Groupe & Chair, France-East Africa Business Council (MEDEF International)
• Mr. Anil Currimjee, President of Business Mauritius
• Mr. Sanjay Bhunjun, Chairperson of the EDB

 

Each speaker emphasised the need to strengthen bilateral business ties, foster innovation and promote Mauritius as a resilient economic partner in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
