On 5–6 October 2026 ABYAZ took part in the EU–Somalia Business Forum 2026 in Mogadishu, held under the theme “Invest in Somalia — Unlocking High Potential Markets”.

The two-day forum brought together European and Somali companies, investors, institutions and government representatives to explore where Somalia’s greatest opportunities lie — and how local production can serve regional and international markets.

Our message at the forum

For ABYAZ the message was simple: Somali frankincense should not leave the country only as raw resin. Processed, blended and packaged locally, it becomes a premium finished product — and with it come skills, employment and a Somali brand that can compete internationally.

Guests at our stand experienced our perfumes, attars, reed diffusers, uunsi and bakhoor, and saw how each product can be personalised with a name, a photo or a company brand.

What we took away

• Strong interest in private label and corporate gifting from businesses and hotels.
• Growing demand for personalised bottles — names, photos and messages printed directly on the bottle.
• Real appetite among partners for value-added Somali frankincense for regional and international markets.

Thank you to the organisers and to everyone who visited the ABYAZ stand. To create a signature scent, a gift collection or a private-label product under your own brand, visit us at KM4, Mogadishu, or message us on WhatsApp.

On 22 September 2026 ABYAZ took part in SOMIPEX — the Somali Products Expo in Mogadishu, the national exhibition dedicated to products made in Somalia.

Under the theme Local Products, Global Standards, manufacturers from across the country came together to show what Somalia is producing today. For us it was an opportunity to stand among other Somali producers and show that a finished, export-ready fragrance can be created here at home.

What we showed

At the ABYAZ stand visitors discovered perfumes, attars, perfume oils, air fresheners, reed diffusers, aroma machine oils, uunsi and bakhoor — all blended in our Mogadishu workshop from Somali frankincense (Luban) and carefully selected perfume oils. Guests tested scents, learned how a custom perfume is created, and saw how a name or photo can be printed directly onto a bottle.

Visitors and partners

We were honoured to welcome government officials, business leaders and many visitors to our stand throughout the day. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked questions and encouraged our team.

Our growing fragrance range includes frankincense-based incense, fragrance oils, reed diffusers, home fragrance solutions and perfumes. Through local product development, ABYAZ aims to move beyond the traditional export of raw frankincense and demonstrate the potential of Somali natural resources in finished, value-added products.

From Somali Frankincense to modern fragrance solutions — developed by ABYAZ.

During the expo, we showcased our premium fragrances, including bakhour, perfumes, and air fresheners—proudly representing a women-led Somali brand. The event brought together inspiring entrepreneurs, creating a platform to connect, collaborate, and empower one another.

At ABYAZ, we believe in supporting and uplifting women in business, and participating in this expo reflects our commitment to growth, innovation, and community impact.

One of these products is the ABYAZ Reed Diffuser — a modern home-fragrance solution inspired by Somali Luubaan.

Designed to gently fragrance your space throughout the day, the diffuser brings together Somali natural heritage and modern fragrance innovation. It is suitable for homes, offices, reception areas and other indoor spaces.

More importantly, this product represents a bigger ABYAZ vision: instead of seeing Somali frankincense leave the country mainly as a raw material, we want to process it, innovate with it, and develop high-value finished products locally.
