Seychelles SDG Investor Map Prospectus

The Seychelles SDG Investor Map is the product of a partnership between the Ministry of Investment, Entrepreneurship, and Industry (MIEI) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The market intelligence tool identifies concrete and emerging Investment Opportunity Areas (IOAs) to attract private capital to national development needs and policy priorities in five sectors with strong SDG positive impact. The priority sectors and IOAs identified are subject to change based on the evolving market, enabling environment conditions and national development priorities, and therefore require regular review and updating.

This prospectus highlights the IOAs and emerging IOAs across identified priority sectors that can generate returns while creating positive impact on the national development priorities and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
