Investor Details Founded: 1994
AfricInvest, founded in 1994, is a prominent private equity and venture capital firm dedicated to investing in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Africa. With over €1.5 billion in assets under management, AfricInvest has made more than 160 equity investments in nearly 30 countries, focusing on sectors such as agribusiness, financial services, manufacturing, and healthcare. The firm operates from 11 offices, including locations in Abidjan, Algiers, Cairo, Casablanca, Dubai, Lagos, London, Mauritius, Nairobi, Paris, and Tunis. AfricInvest's mission is to accelerate the development of high-growth potential mid-cap companies in North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe, transforming them into regional champions while enhancing their governance, profitability, and sustainability. The firm supports its portfolio companies in achieving their expansion goals and implementing growth strategies through vertical integration, employing a hands-on monitoring approach, and offering customized expertise. AfricInvest is a co-founder and member of several industry associations, including the Tunisian Capital Investors Association (ATIC), the Moroccan Capital Investors Association (AMIC), the African Capital Investors Association (AVCA), the Euromed Capital Forum, the Mena Private Equity Association (MENA-PEA), the Emerging Markets Private Equity Association (EMPEA), and the Africa Club of AFIC. The firm's diverse portfolio includes investments in companies such as EFC Uganda, a microfinance institution, and GAT, a leading insurance and reinsurance company in Tunisia. AfricInvest's strategic approach and extensive network have enabled it to successfully exit investments, such as its recent exit from AFG Holding, which demonstrated the firm's ability to drive significant growth and transformation in its portfolio companies.
