The UK–Mozambique Chamber of Commerce is a member-funded, non-profit organisation established to strengthen trade, investment, and business collaboration between the United Kingdom and Mozambique.

The Chamber provides a structured platform for businesses to connect, access opportunities, and navigate the complexities of operating across both markets. It is designed to act as a trusted and authoritative voice for UK-linked business in Mozambique, supporting companies to reduce the cost and risk of doing business through practical support, market insights, and strategic partnerships.

Backed by founding members across key sectors including banking, energy, mining, telecommunications, and professional services and supported by the British High Commission, the Chamber brings together experience, networks, and expertise to drive meaningful commercial engagement.

“As President of the UK–Mozambique Chamber of Commerce, I am proud that this initiative has been shaped and funded by companies that are already invested on the ground. Now we can turn that experience into a practical platform that lowers risk and accelerates sustainable, long‑term projects in Mozambique.”

Thank you to our Founding Members

The Chamber recognises the valuable contribution of all partners and stakeholders involved in its development and looks forward to building a strong and sustainable platform for UK–Mozambique trade and investment.
