The Botswana Export Development and Investment Authority (BEDIA) is an autonomous private sector led organisation mandated by an act of parliament (1997) to encourage, promote and facilitate the establishment of export-oriented enterprises and selected services which will result in economic diversification, rapid economic growth and creation of sustained employment opportunities.

The Authority is also entrusted with the task of identifying market outlets for locally manufactured products and construct factory building for setting up of manufacturing enterprises. BEDIA also works closely with the Government of Botswana to ensure that the country has a conducive investment climate.

BEDIA prides itself in the professional service that it provides to potential investors and it is “THE FRIEND OF THE INVESTOR”.
