New EuroCham Platform Sets Stage for Expanded EU–Sierra Leone Collaboration

Sierra Leone has taken a major step toward deepening economic relations with Europe following the official inauguration of the European Chamber of Commerce in Sierra Leone (EuroCham SL), a new platform aimed at promoting trade, investment, and private sector cooperation.

The launch brought together representatives of the European Union, the Government of Sierra Leone, and private sector stakeholders, in a move designed to strengthen the country’s investment climate and expand economic partnerships with European businesses.

EuroCham Sierra Leone is expected to serve as a central platform for European companies operating in the country, facilitating dialogue, collaboration, and engagement with government institutions and industry stakeholders.

The inauguration ceremony was held alongside the Third Public-Private Dialogue, which gathered government officials, development partners, and business leaders to discuss policy reforms and opportunities to support economic growth and private sector development.

Key speakers at the event included Chief Minister David Moinina Sengeh, Minister of Trade and Industry Alpha Ibrahim Sesay, European Union Ambassador to Sierra Leone Jacek Jankowski, and President of EuroCham Sierra Leone Hans Christopher Wursche.

They collectively emphasized the importance of strengthening collaboration between government and the private sector, improving the business environment, and attracting sustainable foreign investment to drive national development.

The establishment of EuroCham Sierra Leone is expected to enhance business cooperation and increase trade and investment flows between Sierra Leone and Europe.

The initiative comes as the government continues efforts to attract foreign direct investment, support private sector growth, and build stronger international economic partnerships as part of its broader development agenda.
