Why Invest in Cabo Verde ?
Cabo Verde, a stable mid-Atlantic archipelago of 10 islands, blends African warmth with European standards just 500 km off Senegal. With political stability, a euro-pegged currency, and preferential access to ECOWAS, EU (GSP+), US (AGOA) and AfCFTA markets, it is emerging as West Africa's most investor-friendly hub. Strong growth in tourism, renewables and digital services, combined with bold new 2025 incentives, make Cabo Verde the smart Atlantic gateway for forward-looking investors.

Cabo Verde guarantees equal treatment for foreign and domestic investors under a modern Investment Law that ensures full protection of capital, intellectual property and dispute resolution rights. Free repatriation of profits, dividends and capital is legally assured and routinely practiced, with the escudo fixed to the euro eliminating currency risk. Despite occasional bureaucratic delays, the legal framework remains one of the most secure and investor-friendly in West Africa.
