Nagomi Africa supports Japanese companies to test, establish, and scale operations from Mauritius into high-growth African markets — with trusted local partners, clear governance, and structured execution.
We act as a calm, trusted bridge –「和 / nagomi」– between Japanese decision-makers and real, executable opportunities in Mauritius and wider African markets.
Nagomi Africa is an independent advisory and facilitation partner headquartered in Mauritius. We support Japanese companies and investors to move from “interest” to “implementation” in Africa – with Mauritius as a stable, bilingual, and business-friendly base.
