Mecca was founded in 2001 with the mission of providing consultancy services and knowledge to companies, organizations, authorities and institutions.

Our small core is supported by a network of highly qualified professionals in different fields. Based in Sweden, we operate internationally with a special emphasis on the MENA region.

Over the years, we have carried out 1000+ assignments ranging from short talks to long-term capacity building processes and deep research projects.
