SIMA Partners
Damascus, Syria
Based inside Syria
Not a regional office with occasional visits, our research team operates from Damascus, with direct relationships across ministries, regulators, and the private sector.
Primary, not secondhand
Field interviews, direct site verification, and stakeholder mapping. Intelligence a client can table, not a summary of what someone else published six months ago.
Research through execution
The same team that produces the analysis delivers the work. No handoff between a front office and an in-country partner you have never met.
No conflicts. No positions.
We hold no commercial interests in Syria and represent no government, our independence is what makes the analysis reliable.
Primary research produced by a team operating inside Syria. Commissioned engagements are scoped to a specific question, sector, and decision. A selection of our analysis is published freely through SIMA Insights.
Learn more →For investors and institutions that need a defensible position before they commit capital. Risk registers, partner vetting, market entry assessments, and stakeholder mapping, produced to institutional standard.
Learn more →For organisations past the decision point. Tender preparation, regulatory navigation, partner coordination, and site-level verification, delivered by a team that is already in the country.
Learn more →SIMA was built to bridge the gap between international capital looking for structured opportunities in Syria and a Syrian economy that needs foreign investment, governance frameworks, and management expertise to rebuild — we create value for both sides.
What we bring
A field research team operating from Damascus with direct government ministry relationships and private sector access. A global network spanning the GCC, Europe, and North America. Multi-sector expertise in governance, transparency, and institutional management that we transfer directly to Syrian institutions and government counterparties.
What that enables
Primary-sourced sector intelligence, market entry strategy and risk assessment, partner vetting and stakeholder mapping, investor-government facilitation, tender preparation and submission, regulatory navigation and licensing, and vendor coordination built around compliance from the outset.
Value created for investors and corporations
De-risked market entry, structured opportunities, on-the-ground execution capability, and ongoing intelligence that keeps pace with a regulatory environment that changes fast.
Value created for Syria
Capital inflows directed toward productive sectors, governance and transparency frameworks introduced through every engagement, policy input informed by what international investors actually require, and management knowledge transferred to Syrian institutions through our advisory and implementation work.
