ABOUT
AfricInvest X Cathay Innovation
The Cathay Africinvest Innovation Fund is the first Pan-African Venture Fund created with AfricInvest to connect the continent and the world’s leading innovation ecosystems. With the combination of socio-economic gaps and innovation drivers, startups have an opportunity to fuel a technological leapfrog that can improve over 1 billion lives across Africa. We want to fuel this transition by creating and connecting new digital infrastructures and services that will boost the economy to the next level.
The fund is operated by the Africinvest team, through a common management company, with the value-added global support of Cathay Innovation.
AfricInvest was founded in Tunis in 1994 and is today among the leading private equity and VC firms in North and Sub-Saharan Africa with $2B assets under management and 200+ investments across 35+ countries in Africa.
