Our Portfolio
Our Impact
We Support the Fulfillment of Basic Needs in Emerging Markets, Africa, and the MENA Region Through
Financial Inclusion
Access to financial products directly reduces poverty and inequality. Financial inclusion within the formal financial system can increase the disposable income of low-income urban households
Better Education
Education is the most powerful tool in the fight against poverty. In Africa and the Arab region, there are two significant gaps in education: availability and cost. Technology startups can bridge these gaps, as demonstrated during the Covid-19 era.
Women Empowerment
When women and girls have equal rights and access to resources and services, societies thrive. We aim to reduce gender disparities and empower women as entrepreneurs, employees, and customers, ensuring they benefit directly and indirectly from our portfolio companies.
Health and longevity
We believe that health tech complements the expertise of doctors and health professionals in diagnosis and treatment. The use of artificial intelligence, data science, and other technologies is enhancing diagnosis and gradually treating the deadliest diseases.
Saving Environment
Saving the environment is no longer optional; it is a survival mandate. Individuals, organizations, and governments must unite to protect our planet. Startups are making significant contributions by creating economic opportunities through projects that reuse harmful materials and optimize clean energy use
