Our Story

SBA was founded in 2023 by a group of young Somali entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts who recognized the growing potential of Somalia’s emerging technology and electronics sector and the challenges businesses face in reaching international buyers.

Starting with a small group of solar energy and electronics traders in Mogadishu, we have grown into the leading B2B platform connecting over 2,450 tech-focused businesses across Somalia and the diaspora with buyers in more than 60 countries.

Today, SBA is recognized as a key facilitator of technology and electronics trade in East Africa, with offices in Mogadishu, Banaadir, and Nairobi.
