Who are we?
Creating new businesses in Africa, starting with Bénin, while enabling social progress, is our African “Drive”. Our shareholders have a track record for business results. We are combining these experiences to build new companies that are economically viable and sustainable.
Our first investment, Baobab Express SA in Bénin, West-Africa, has since 2014 been successful both from an economic perspective as well as from a gross profit point of view. With a team of 260 locals, lead by a young and dynamic entrepreneur, Baobab Express is bringing on average 1.100 passengers daily to their destinations, at affordable prices, safe and on time. Clients are experiencing this as a new economic reality.
Besides financial results, we are focusing on economic progress and creating regional prosperity in difficult areas. As such we focus on many of the SDG’s (Sustainable Development Goals) of the United Nations.
