“Eswatini is open for business,” declared Dlamini. “We are politically stable, strategically located and rich in potential – with a youthful workforce and access to key regional and global markets. If you are looking for your next opportunity, choose Eswatini. Grow with us.”

The Eswatini Investment Promotion Authority (EIPA) and event organisers were also applauded for delivering a “world-class” conference that not only attracted significant investment but laid the foundation for a dynamic future.

With the momentum now set, Eswatini aims to convert pledges into tangible development — creating jobs, expanding industries, and securing long-term prosperity for its people.
