OUR MODEL
SUI identifies commercially viable opportunities, builds strategic partnerships and develops businesses that can operate and grow in Tanzania and across East Africa.
Simba Ustawi Investments is built around a simple idea: strong businesses are created by combining opportunity with local knowledge, capable partners and disciplined execution.
Our activities span four strategic areas: Agriculture & Veterinary, Mining, Technology and Commercial Trading - each with its own market opportunity, operating model and growth pathway.
“We don't believe in simply identifying opportunities. We believe in building them. That means working alongside our partners to develop, operate and scale businesses that create lasting value.”

OUR VISION
To build enduring businesses that contribute to Tanzania's economic growth and connect African opportunity with global markets.
To identify opportunities, build strategic partnerships and operate businesses that create sustainable long-term value for our stakeholders.
OUR MISSION
Our Model - From Opportunity
to Operation.
SUI's model is built around moving opportunities beyond ideas and into operating businesses.
We combine local market knowledge, strategic partnerships and hands-on execution to develop opportunities from initial assessment through to commercial scale.
01
IDENTIFY
We assess markets, resources, industries and commercial gaps where there is potential to build sustainable businesses.
02
PARTNER
We work with local and international partners whose expertise, technology, capital, products or market access can strengthen the opportunity.
03
LOCALISE
We adapt products, technologies and business models to the regulatory, commercial and operating realities of Tanzania and East Africa.
04
OPERATE
SUI takes an active role in developing operations, establishing market channels, managing relationships and building the capabilities required to deliver.
05
SCALE
Once the operating model is proven, we focus on expansion, new markets, stronger partnerships and long-term value creation.
Rooted in Tanzania.
Connected to East Africa.
Tanzania is the foundation of SUI's operating model and the starting point for our regional ambitions. SUI's approach is to build locally, establish proven operating capabilities and expand selectively into neighbouring markets where the opportunity and partnerships align.
