Moving to a new country can be a daunting challenge. More so, if you’re building a career, exercising a profession or engaging in commerce in your new environment.

The country has several private organisations where you can build a local network to help grow your career or business. Here are four major groups which can help spread your calling card on the island.

The Mauritius Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI), founded in 1850, is the oldest non-profit representing the private sector in Mauritius.
