Somali Manufacturing, Industrial & Processing Expo 2026
Venue: To be confirmed (Mogadishu)
Date: 22nd – 23rd Sept 2026
Powering Somalia’s Industrial Transformation
ABOUT SOMIPEX BUILD PROCESS PROGRESS
SOMIPEX is the leading national platform bringing together manufacturers, industrial enterprises, processing companies, investors, government institutions, development partners, technology providers, and business leaders to drive Somalia’s industrial transformation.
The expo is the definitive annual marketplace for industrial technology, policy dialogue, and business matchmaking in the country. It demonstrates that “Made in Somalia” is an active, expanding economic force, connecting the entire ecosystem—from the farmer seeking processing equipment to the international machinery manufacturer seeking a local distributor.
Our Mandate
To promote industrial growth, encourage innovation, facilitate investment, and strengthen manufacturing and processing value chains across Somalia.
A STRATEGIC ACCELERATOR.
Under the theme “Powering Somalia’s Industrial Transformation,” SOMIPEX 2026 arrives as Somalia prioritizes import substitution, agro-processing, and industrial energy solutions.
The expo is designed to move beyond exhibitions and directly into signed contracts, installed capacity, and job creation.
