Malawi
Malawi is a landlocked nation in southern Africa with one of the continent's youngest and fastest-growing populations. While the economy remains heavily agricultural — with tobacco, tea, and maize as primary exports — significant investment is flowing into renewable energy, mining, aquaculture, and agribusiness diversification. For Norwegian companies, Malawi offers entry points in hydropower and off-grid energy, sustainable agriculture, health infrastructure, and development finance, with Norway already one of Malawi's most established bilateral partners.
