We are a business development and investment advisory firm operating in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Our mission is to drive impact through private sector development in the Agrifood, Renewable Energy and Circular Economy sectors.
In 2050, the number of people living on this planet will have doubled. To this extent, we believe that AgriFood Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) will play a key role in feeding this population, as they occupy critical positions along the value chains as producers, input suppliers, off-takers, processors, and distributors. At the same time, access to affordable energy is a pre-condition for sustainable development, and renewable energy production in developing countries already surpassed the capacity generated by fossil fuels. SMEs in the renewable energy sector are pivotal in assuring that 900 million people, who currently do not have electricity, will gain access to affordable energy by 2030. Lastly, there is a need to transition to a Circular Economy, as we cannot sustainably continue extracting the earth’s limited resources.
Our team of 50+ dedicated professionals contributes to these goals from our offices in the Netherlands, Kenya, Burkina Faso, and Jordan. Additionally, 12 consultants from our sister company, Advance Insight, support high-impact SMEs with digital transformation services from a shared office in Kenya.
