SEEKING INVESTORS FOR SMART SMES AND PROJECTS IN GHANA, UGANDA, ZAMBIA AND KENYA

March 11, 2019

I am currently searching for funds/networks or connections for a number of smart, rising and innovation SMES in Ghana, Uganda, Zambia and Kenya in the areas of Circular Economy, maternal healthcare, Fintech, mobile healthcare and energy efficiency projects. I would appreciate advice, counsel and connections to relevant contacts interested in African startups or SMES. All these companies are currently operating and I have professional contacts to them.

I am a Business Development and Growth Marketer based in Finland, and have years of experiences working closely with companies looking to expand their sales, grow their business or work on their innovation towards emerging markets in Africa.

Thank you in advance.

Adlevo Capital maintains active local presence through its base in Lagos, Nigeria. The Acumen Fund invests in entrepreneurs who have the capability to bring sustainable solutions to big problems. The Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund awards grants and repayable grants to private sector companies to support innovative business ideas in agriculture, agribusiness, renewable energy, adaptation to climate change and access to information and financial services.

By the way, if you have women entrepreneurs, you may want to contact the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF). The AWDF only funds local, national, sub-regional and regional organizations in Africa working towards women’s empowerment in six thematic areas: Women’s Human Rights, Economic Empowerment and Livelihoods, Governance, Peace and Security, Reproductive Health and Rights, HIV/AIDS, Arts, Culture and Sports.
