About #SEF2023

The 2023 Somaliland Economic Forum is a two-day event that will bring together government officials, business leaders, academics, and development experts to discuss the future of Somaliland's economy. The theme of the forum is "Investing in Diversification and Modernization."

Somaliland's economy is currently heavily reliant on the exportation of live livestock and agriculture. This makes the economy vulnerable to external shocks, such as changes in global commodity prices and droughts. The 2023 Somaliland Economic Forum will explore ways to diversify the economy away from this reliance on a few key exports.

The forum will also focus on the importance of modernizing the economy through investment in infrastructure, education, technology, and the service sector. By investing in these areas, Somaliland can create a more resilient and sustainable economy that is better able to create jobs and improve the lives of its citizens.

The 2023 Somaliland Economic Forum is the second iteration of this annual event. The 2022 forum was a success, attracting over 200 participants. The 2023 forum is expected to be even larger and more successful.
