What Nacala Corridor OS is
Nacala Corridor OS brings corridor projects, infrastructure intelligence, project readiness signals, investment opportunities and stakeholder engagement into one public platform for the Nacala Corridor. It is Portuguese-first, with English for international partners.
The Nacala Corridor is one of the most strategic logistics and investment corridors in southern Africa. It links the deep-water port of Nacala in Mozambique with Malawi and Zambia, through rail, road, logistics and special economic zones, and connects ports, mines, agriculture and industry across borders.
The platform helps investors, funders, SMEs, communities and public institutions see where opportunities exist, what stage projects are at, and what is needed to move priority projects towards preparation, financing and delivery.

Questions people ask
Why Portuguese first?
The corridor starts in Mozambique, so the platform defaults to Portuguese. English is available for international partners.
Do I need an account?
No, not for public data. Registration is free and adds project data, sector intelligence and matchmaking.
How do introductions work?
MANSA assesses fit by sector, geography, stage and amount, and proposes an introduction. It goes ahead only when both sides accept.
Does the market take a commission?
No. Verified sellers are shown first and there is no commission.
