Our primary objective is to provide a networking platform for our members to gain knowledge of the business environment and to keep abreast of the fast-developing economic and business opportunities. We connect European businesses operating in Tanzania to various opportunities and resources that enhance their prosperity. In doing so, the EUBG aims to contribute to the promotion of trade and investment between European and Tanzanian companies. We also aim to create a suitable framework for dialogue with the Government of Tanzania and other stakeholders on stable environments for business and investments. Furthermore, we strive to assist our members in achieving their business objectives by offering them timely guidance and valuable insights. At the EUBG, we focus on promoting and increasing business between Tanzania and Europe as a geographical location. We promote EU business interests in Tanzania for the benefits of our members and overall to improve the ease of doing business in Tanzania.

The EUBG is led by an Executive Director and governed by a Board of Directors. We are supported by the EU Delegation in Tanzania, its Member States, and EFTA Diplomatic Missions. Currently, there are 24 EU countries and 2 EFTA countries represented by businesses in Tanzania. EUBG membership is open to all European countries. The EUBG allows these members to exchange information on business development and investment climate of Tanzania.
