Alfred Mwabala

CEO of ZamNordic

ZamNordic was founded in 2022 by Alfred Mwabala with a clear purpose: to build a stronger connection between Zambia and the Nordic region and create meaningful opportunities for business, investment, knowledge exchange and sustainable development. Built on Zambian roots and Nordic experience, ZamNordic was established to bridge the gap between Zambia's growing opportunities and the expertise, technology, investment and business networks available across the Nordic countries.

From its beginnings, ZamNordic has evolved beyond simply connecting organisations. Today, we work as a strategic business platform linking companies, investors, entrepreneurs, municipalities, government institutions and development partners across Zambia and the Nordic region. Our work focuses on helping organisations understand new markets, identify opportunities, establish the right relationships and move from initial conversations towards practical partnerships and projects.

A central part of this journey has been our work in renewable energy and sustainable development. As Zambia continues to face growing energy demand and the need for greater energy resilience, ZamNordic connects Zambian stakeholders with Nordic expertise, technologies and solutions in areas such as solar energy and sustainable infrastructure. Since 2024, our presence in Zambia has also expanded into the direct provision of solar-energy solutions, including sales, installation and maintenance, allowing us to combine international expertise with practical implementation on the ground.

We bring this connection to life through international business delegations, conferences, B2B meetings, stakeholder engagements and knowledge-exchange programmes. These initiatives have brought together Nordic companies and institutions with Zambian organisations including government agencies, municipalities and businesses, creating opportunities for market access, investment, technology transfer and long-term collaboration. Our conference and delegation activities have involved partners and stakeholders such as Business Kolding, the Zambia Development Agency, the Zambian Embassy, South Denmark University and the Danish Trade Council, alongside companies and organisations working across energy, water, waste management and sustainable infrastructure.

Today, ZamNordic operates across Zambia and Denmark and is supported by a network of 20+ global partners. This growing network enables us to bring together the right expertise, relationships and opportunities around specific market needs and projects. Our approach is grounded in passion, opportunity, responsibility and stability, creating partnerships that are commercially meaningful while contributing to sustainable economic and social development.

Our ambition is to become the most reliable and leading business platform between Zambia and the Nordic countries, while bridging Nordic businesses with Zambian opportunities to support sustainable economic growth. We believe that Zambia has significant opportunities, while the Nordic region offers valuable expertise, innovation and technology, and our role is to connect the two in a way that creates lasting value. Through trusted relationships, practical market access and collaborative platforms, ZamNordic aims to turn international connections into partnerships, partnerships into projects, and projects into sustainable impact.
