Market-entry advisory · MENA

Expand your business into the Middle East and North Africa

Where your business meets emerging markets.

Oliseo helps cosmetics brands and medical and paramedical equipment makers grow in the MENA region. We also help local companies find the right supplier in Europe.

Two paths

We support both sides of the relationship

Europe → MENA

You sell in the region

You are a European company looking for customers, distributors or partners in the Middle East and North Africa.

  • Market choice and approvals
  • Local distributors and partners
  • Setup and launch

MENA → Europe

You are looking for a supplier in Europe

You are a local company that wants to buy cosmetics, medical or paramedical equipment from reliable European manufacturers.

  • Supplier shortlist matched to your specifications
  • Checks: certifications, quality, references
  • Negotiation, samples, order follow-up

Sectors

Three sectors, each with its own regulatory requirements

A cosmetic product and a medical device do not enter a market the same way. We adapt the approach to your category.

Cosmetics

Skincare, makeup, fragrance, hair care.

  • Local registration and labelling
  • Halal requirements by country
  • Distribution, pharmacies, e-commerce

Medical devices

Medical devices, diagnostics, hospital equipment.

  • Classification and approval
  • Public tenders and hospitals
  • Authorised local representative

Paramedical

Rehabilitation, orthopaedics, home care, consumables.

  • Clinic and centre networks
  • Specialist distributors
  • Practitioner training

Why MENA

A growing region, with different rules in every country

The region is investing in health and beauty and is looking for innovative partners. But each market has its own rules, decision-making circuits and key players. Entering without a guide costs time and money.
