Industrial & Energy Technology
Home / Technology

Launch your industrial or energy technology business in Tanzania.

We open the Tanzanian market for foreign technology companies — approvals, partners, first customers and a local team — and connect them with the businesses here that need their solutions.

Good technology often stalls here for local reasons.

A company can have an excellent product and still struggle to enter Tanzania: it doesn’t know which approvals apply, can’t tell a reliable distributor from a risky one, has no introductions to buyers, and no one on the ground to represent it.

Our Technology division is your local business partner for that. We work on both sides of the deal: with the foreign company bringing its technology to Tanzania, and with the Tanzanian business looking for the right solution.

Because we also run Market Entry, Logistics and Workforce, the whole route from first market check to an established local business sits with one accountable partner.

Industrial and energy, covered end to end.

We stay focused on the technologies where Tanzania’s demand is growing strongly and where local groundwork makes the biggest difference.

Industrial technology

Machinery, equipment and production systems for factories, processing plants, construction and mining sites.

Technologies we help bring to market

  • Manufacturing and processing machinery
  • Automation, control and monitoring systems
  • Heavy equipment and spare parts supply
  • Water treatment and pumping systems
Approvals: industrial products and installations usually need product certification, workplace safety clearance and, for larger sites, environmental approval. We identify every approval your product needs and handle the process for you.

Energy technology

Power generation, storage and efficiency systems for homes, businesses, industry and off-grid sites.

Technologies we help bring to market

  • Solar PV, mini-grid and off-grid systems
  • Battery storage and backup power
  • Generators, inverters and power equipment
  • Energy-efficiency upgrades for industrial sites
Approvals: energy products and projects usually need product certification and licensing, and grid-connected systems have their own requirements. We identify every approval your project needs and handle the process for you.

Requirements depend on the exact product and project, so we confirm the approval route for yours before any work starts. See our guide to sector regulators.

Who we work with.

Most technology deals have a seller abroad and a buyer here. We can represent either side, and often connect the two.
