Africa needs $140 billion to be invested annually to achieve universal coverage by 2040. There is a current annual funding shortage of $78 billion on average. At Enigma, we recognize the transformative power of energy and are dedicated to financing projects that revolutionize Africa's energy landscape. From supporting renewable energy initiatives, such as solar panels for farming, mega gas power plants, to investing in innovative technologies and sustainable power solutions, we strive to unlock Africa's energy potential. Join us as we light up the path towards a brighter and more prosperous future for Africa, one energized project at a time.
Enigma Fund’s commitment to mega infrastructure investment, rapid industrialisation drive, corporate social responsibility, and poverty eradication distinguishes it from its competitors. The bigger the project, the better. Africa also needs infrastructure investment to the tune of $170 billion a year with a financing gap in the range of $68 to $108 billion. We plan to plug this gap every year as long as a constant flow of finance - ready projects exists. We fund projects from €1 billion to as far as your imagination can take you. The more unique, unrealistic and unprecedented, the better. This is how we build Africa.
To fully unlock Africa's agricultural prowess, there is an urgent need to address the existing infrastructure challenges. Roads, cold storage facilities, agroprocessing, farming technologies, and efficient energy solutions are the lifeblood of a thriving agricultural industry. Yet, many regions in Africa still face significant gaps in these essential infrastructural elements. That's where we come in. Our fund is dedicated to financing projects that strategically target and close these gaps, ensuring that the African agricultural landscape reaches its full potential. By investing in agricultural infrastructure, we pave the way for increased productivity, improved market access, enhanced value chains, and sustainable development. Join us on this transformative journey and be a part of shaping Africa's agricultural future.
