Infrastructure finance for Africa
HongoCapital originates and structures clean energy and industrial projects in the DR Congo and Sub-Saharan Africa, and works with institutions and development finance partners to provide the finance. We do not provide finance to others ourselves.
Pipeline figures are projected targets, not live fundraising results.
The gap
Africa has the rivers, the sun and the ambition. What it often lacks is financing for projects that take years to build and decades to pay back. HongoCapital develops and structures clean energy and industrial projects, then works with institutions and development finance partners to provide the finance. We are not a lender: the finance comes from our institutional partners.
