Who we are? – CDG Invest

WHO WE ARE

CDG Invest is a private equity investor and fund manager, and the investment arm of the CDG Group. We take an active role in the major issues facing the Moroccan economy: diversifying production, regional development, establishing PPPs, growing entrepreneurship and sustainable development.

We work through two investment funds: Fipar-Holding, which invests in large companies and infrastructure projects, and Nama Holding, a fund dedicated to the “Morocco Global Trades”, and two investment companies: CDG Invest Growth, which targets promising mid-caps and invests in the Acamsa, Capmezzanine, Capmezzanine II and Capmezzanine III funds, and CDG Invest Infrastructures, which manages a specialist infrastructure investment fund called InfraMaroc. Our activities also include two programmes: 212 Founders, an investment and support programme for innovative start-ups with international ambitions in connection with Morocco and Africa, and Génération Entrepreneurs, a support and financing programme for the creation of companies with high growth potential in manufacturing and services.

With cutting-edge expertise and multi-team specialisation, CDG Invest also acts in several key business sectors such as manufacturing, agri-food, digital/online, renewable energy and regional PPPs, working with businesses of varying sizes from large and mid-tier companies to SMEs and start-ups
