Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha

Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha is a British Overseas Territory made up of three remote island groups in the South Atlantic. Saint Helena, best known as the place of Napoleon's exile, has around 4,500 people and an airport that opened in 2017. Ascension hosts military and satellite communications facilities, and Tristan da Cunha is one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world, with a population of around 250 and a valuable lobster fishery.

The Territory's Economy

The economy is small and relies on support from the United Kingdom, public services, fishing, specialty coffee grown on Saint Helena, and tourism. Large marine protected areas around the islands make them a focus for ocean conservation.

Capital Raising & Investor Introductions

There is no local investor market. Projects on the islands usually raise from investors in the United Kingdom and from public funding. Tourism, fisheries, renewable energy and digital connectivity, including a subsea cable to Saint Helena, are the most relevant sectors.

Investor Events, Dinners & Networking

GCN arranges private investor dinners built around a single company, with investors selected for its sector and stage.
