Investments
We invest in the innovators of tomorrow.
Why do we invest?
Investments in African startups and small and medium-sized enterprises drive growth, create jobs and innovation, and shape new clusters and ecosystems. By 2050, one in four people worldwide is expected to live in Africa. Already today, more than 80% of all jobs are created by startups and small and medium-sized enterprises. In light of rapid population growth, millions of new jobs must be created to secure opportunities for the younger generation.
