As Mauritius positions itself for its next phase of economic development, the Economic Development Board (EDB Mauritius) sits at the centre of this evolution. As the country’s national investment promotion and facilitation agency, the EDB is mandated to attract quality investment that drives innovation, high-value employment and sustainable growth.
“The EDB is responsible for positioning Mauritius as a competitive and trusted investment and business hub,” says Mahen Abhimanu Kundasamy, Chief Executive Officer of EDB Mauritius. Acting as a single interface for investors, the organisation works closely with government bodies to ensure an agile, business-friendly environment aligned with global trends such as digitalisation and sustainability.

New growth sectors are a clear priority. Mauritius is actively supporting renewable energy, fintech and smart manufacturing, while helping existing exporters transition towards Industry 4.0 through productivity and efficiency gains. At the same time, the country is diversifying beyond traditional pillars by expanding into life sciences, advanced manufacturing and ocean-based industries.
Foreign direct investment remains robust, with inflows projected to exceed $800 million in 2025. Strategic engagement with the Middle East is deepening, reinforced by the UAE–Mauritius CEPA.
“Our message is simple,” Kundasamy notes. “Mauritius is ready to partner with investors seeking a reliable, future-oriented jurisdiction that enables opportunities to scale with confidence.”
