Before any investment decision, we carefully evaluate the following elements:

Industry sector

The chosen sectors must have an element of growth and we must be able to generate value thanks to our team know-how and network in that particular industry. We seek to have a social and environmental impact in the continent and support companies in sectors that are critical for the economic development of Africa.
