East Africa has built a real software industry. Nairobi's iHub kicked off the regional tech scene more than a decade ago, Kigali is positioning itself as a continental tech hub, and Kampala and Dar es Salaam have growing communities of developers, designers, and product people. The sector spans bespoke software studios, SaaS startups, IT support firms, cloud-service resellers, cybersecurity specialists, telecoms, and hardware distributors.

EABD lists software development companies, web and mobile app studios, IT support firms, cloud and DevOps consultancies, cybersecurity providers, telecom operators and ISPs, and hardware retailers. Verified profiles show technology stacks, case studies (where the client has consented), team size and reviews, which are the practical signals a CTO needs to shortlist a partner.

About Somalia

Somalia's private sector has grown largely on its own terms. Livestock exports through Berbera, Bosaso and Kismayo, a remittance and money-transfer industry that connects the diaspora to every town, some of the continent's most widely used mobile-money services, and a construction and import trade centred on Mogadishu keep the economy moving. Somalia joined the East African Community in 2024, opening its traders to a market of more than 300 million people.

EABD lists Somali businesses in Mogadishu and across all 18 regions, from Hargeisa and Borama in the north-west to Garowe, Galkayo, Baidoa and Kismayo. Browse by region, by town, or by industry. Where a business is verified, EABD has confirmed its registration with the relevant ministry or chamber of commerce and its contact details, so buyers, NGOs and diaspora investors can reach a real counterpart directly.
