Strategically located at the crossroads of Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Indian sub-continent, Mauritius consolidates its position as a prime base for the regional headquarters of multinationals. To this effect, a Regional Headquarters Scheme (RHQ) was introduced to attract companies to set up their regional offices on the island.

An international company operating in any member State of a regional economic bloc of which Mauritius is also a member (SADC, COMESA, IOC, IOR) can set up its headquarters on the island.
