For individual entrepreneurs, academics, or professional of various sorts, this membership offers access to valuable resources, networking opportunities, and a platform to share your ideas and contribute to the region's economic development. - Diaspora Membership:
Members in the diaspora are encouraged to take part, especially where connections exist with EU based interests that could partner or invest in Somalia. As part of the dynamic diaspora community, your valuable contribution is needed when addressing the barriers faced when seeking to re-establish a business opportunity in Somalia. - Policy Maker Membership:
