Easy to Reach. Ready to Host.
Oasis Seychelles will be designed together with pilot users. We are planning to open a first version in Q1/2026 – and then elaborate it together with pilot users so that the it can be opened in September 2026. If you are an investor, please contact: ilkka.kakko@karostech.fi for further information. We will be flexible to adjust the ambition level of the project based on the gravity it creates.
Seychelles is already one of the most connected island nations in the Indian Ocean, with direct flights from Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Major hubs such as Paris, Frankfurt, London, Dubai, Doha and Nairobi offer convenient links to Mahé International Airport.
Accommodation is available in nearby resorts, guesthouses, and eco-lodges, ensuring visitors and early partners can stay comfortably during the setup and pilot phases. As Oasis takes shape, its own elegant spaces will soon become the preferred choice for innovation retreats, leadership programs, and co-creation sessions.
Pristine beaches, a stable business environment, and welcoming local communities provide the perfect backdrop for a world-class hybrid hub.
