Investment Opportunities​

For investors willing to take a long-term view and engage responsibly

Syria today presents both urgent needs and long-term opportunities. After more than a decade of conflict, vast areas of the economy require rebuilding, from infrastructure and housing to healthcare, telecommunications, and energy.

For investors willing to take a long-term view and engage responsibly, there are credible, high-impact projects waiting to be developed with the right partners and support.

Why Invest in Syria?

  • Strategic Location: Syria sits at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East a logistical hub for future regional trade.
  • Young & Skilled Workforce: A large pool of engineers, technicians, and educated youth — many with diaspora experience and foreign training.
  • Reconstruction-Driven Demand: Massive infrastructure deficits and urban recovery needs across housing, energy, healthcare, and public services.
  • Competitive Labour & Land Costs: Low operating costs, attractive land access, and simplified procedures in designated investment zones.
  • Untapped Markets: With imports rising, local production is essential. Sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, and clean energy are underdeveloped and ripe for investment.
  • Diaspora Engagement & State Incentives: New investment promotion efforts targeting Syrians abroad and foreign allies.

Our Chamber works closely with local partners, development agencies, and Syrian municipalities to identify pre-screened, realistic opportunities for foreign partners.

The SSCCI Social
Investment Program

At the heart of our mission is a new approach to reconstruction: social investment — where business meets purpose.

The SSCCI is launching a Social Investment Platform that enables Swiss and international investors to contribute to the revival of damaged Syrian factories and businesses that were once vital to their local economies. These are real, tangible businesses — textile workshops, food processors, furniture manufacturers, and others — that had to shut down due to war-related destruction.

How it Works:

  • We identify and verify existing Syrian businesses that are damaged but still viable.
  • Investors choose the project they wish to support, based on sector, location, or impact goals.
  • The investment is made with a clear structure, offering a reasonable financial return, while directly contributing to economic recovery and job restoration.
  • As the business rebuilds and returns to pre-war production levels, the community regains access to income, services, and stability.

This is not charity. It is socially responsible investment — where you earn a return while making a visible, local impact.
 It’s a win-win model: Businesses are revived. Communities regain livelihoods. Investors make money and a meaningful difference.

Our Chamber
ensures that:

  • Each project is technically reviewed and financially structured
  • Legal agreements protect both sides
  • Monitoring and reporting provide full transparency on the progress and social impact
