U.S.-Sierra Leone Roundtable with H.E. Julius Maada Bio, President of the Republic of Sierra Leone
His Excellency Julius Maada Bio, President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, emphasized that the roundtable was about partnership, not just investment. He invited CCA members and investors to consider Sierra Leone as a destination of choice, assuring government support from project inception through implementation. He highlighted his government’s commitment to aligning incentives, strengthening regulations, fostering corporate solutions, and driving job creation and technology transfer. His central message: Sierra Leone is open for business and welcomes investors as long-term partners in growth was echoed by U.S. companies currently doing business in the country.
Sierra Leone offers a strategic gateway in West Africa, with direct access within hours to Europe, North America, and key African markets. The nation’s youthful and increasingly skilled workforce, strengthened by education as a flagship policy, underpins its growth potential. Coupled with political stability, peace, and a growing population, Sierra Leone positions itself as a reliable and attractive destination for American and global investors. The roundtable also created valuable networking opportunities for CCA members, with participants already active in Sierra Leone sharing their positive experiences of doing business in the country.
