By combining Swiss precision with deep African market knowledge, we help businesses and investors make informed decisions, structure successful ventures and establish lasting partnerships, whether entering a market for the first time or expanding an existing presence.

Founded in Tanzania
Shikana was established in Dar es Salaam as a law firm providing specialized legal services to foreign investors entering African markets.
Africa’s economic transformation will not come from aid, but from strategic investment in the private sector. With this vision, I founded Swiss Shikana, to bridge global capital with Africa’s immense potential.
Coming from a multicultural background and having lived in various countries, I saw firsthand how sustainable investment drives real impact. What started as a boutique firm is now a trusted partner for investors worldwide, operating from Switzerland and Tanzania, with ambitions to expand into key African business hubs.
