Who we are
Barkulan was created to give ambitious people a place to work, meet, exchange knowledge and access opportunities.
What began as a physical community in Hargeisa has grown into something much larger. People who became part of Barkulan have continued their journeys across Somaliland and around the world.
We are a coworking space that offers space for rent. We are also a community and innovation ecosystem: a place for training, events, entrepreneurship and relationships that help people move forward.
Talent needs an environment where it can develop. Barkulan creates space for knowledge, collaboration and opportunity, helping young people and professionals build meaningful futures.
