A diversified investment and operating group building strategic assets and businesses across Africa.
CGI Group is a diversified investment and operating group focused on developing, financing, constructing, owning and managing strategic assets and businesses that support economic transformation and sustainable development across the African continent.
The Group's role is to identify opportunities of long-term significance, bring together the expertise, partnerships and resources required to realise them, and provide the stewardship necessary to ensure their sustainable growth and success.
Derived from the Latin word Innovare, meaning to renew or to innovate, the Group embodies a philosophy of transformation, continuous improvement and responsible stewardship. This philosophy is reflected across every business we own, every asset we develop and every relationship we build.
The Group leverages institutional relationships, complementary capabilities and access to global capital to pursue transformative investments across Africa and selected international markets.
The Group operates as an Investor, Developer and Operator. As investor, it allocates long-term capital to opportunities of national and regional significance. As developer, it brings assets and businesses from concept to commissioning. As operator, it manages those businesses over the long term to deliver sustained performance.
CGI Group was established to play an enduring role in the economic transformation of the African continent. Africa is in the midst of structural change: rapid urbanisation, a rising middle class, a growing young population, a digital and energy transition, and an accelerating demand for institutional-grade infrastructure across every sector of the economy. At a time when the capital available across the continent remains small relative to the scale of opportunity, the Group was established to channel long-term, disciplined investment into the businesses and assets that will shape Africa's next decades.
The Group's mandate looks beyond market cycles to the structural trends that generate sustainable returns over decades. This orientation shapes how we invest, how we build relationships and how we develop our people.
The Group is anchored in Africa and invests with the conviction of an African institution, while operating to the governance, investment and execution standards expected by international investors and partners.
The Group's investment activities are conducted on a commercial basis, free from short-term political or regulatory considerations. This underpins the integrity of our investment process and the credibility of our institutional partnerships.
