THE SOMALI CIRCLE EVENT

STOCKHOLM

Join us on July 11th at Sweden’s iconic Nationalmuseum as we write the next chapter for Somali entrepreneurs

After two sold-out events in London and Amsterdam, it's clear:

Your next breakthrough doesn’t come from a podcast, a book, or another generic business event. It comes from your own people. Now, all eyes are on Stockholm.

When 100 Somali founders and aspiring entrepreneurs come together in one room, something special happens.

Most people walk in not knowing how many brilliant Somali entrepreneurs live just down the street. They walk out with new clients, new collaborations, and sometimes even a new co-founder.


They arrive with scattered ideas and uncertainty. They leave with clarity, momentum, and mentors who’ve already walked their path, saving them years of trial and error.


That’s what happened in London, that's what we saw in Amsterdam, and that’s exactly what we’re bringing to Stockholm.

This time, we're taking things to another level For the first time ever, we're launching something new. The Goat Herder, a pitch competition for Somali founders. Win here, and you'll secure a spot at the finals during Somali Week in London, where real investors are ready to fund and mentor the next generation of Somali-led businesses.

Our Purpose

A place for us

The Somali Circle takes its inspiration from a familiar scene: a circle of adeeros sitting beneath the shade of a tree, exchanging stories, wisdom, and guidance.

Growing up, Jibril and Guleed watched these gatherings countless times. Elders quietly discussed important matters, solved problems together and made decisions that shaped the community’s future.

Under that tree, great ideas were born and strong connections formed.

Years later, as Somali entrepreneurs scattered around the world, we realized something essential was missing.

A place to come together and build real economic power as a community.

That’s why The Somali Circle exists. It recreates that powerful feeling of unity and collective strength we felt watching our adeeros.

It’s a global community for Somali entrepreneurs to connect, share knowledge, and grow together, no matter where they are in the world.

On July 11th, that tree will be the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm.
