About us

Creating possibility, shaping progress

We are Imbono. A leading operator and provider of infrastructure and essential goods and services across emerging markets. 

"Imbono brings together global capital and operational expertise, with a commitment to project completion and long-term sustainability, and we maintain a permanent on-the-ground presence wherever we operate. We are a global operator with a local presence." - Marcus Weyll, CEO, Imbono

 

Our ambition

Transform the lives of more than 100 million people by 2040 by expanding access to essential services such as water, energy, food, healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

Our mission

Deliver integrated, high-impact end-to-end solutions that expand access to essential services, combining operational execution, local presence, strategic partnerships, and sustainable capital.

Global reach. Local presence.

We have invested US$8.7 billion into more than 25 emerging markets, creating tangible impact for underinvested regions. We are deeply committed to local communities, with teams that come from – and are based in – the markets we serve.

We transform capital and know-how into impact

There is no other emerging markets player like us. We combine global capital and operational expertise in a single, integrated model. 

We are the architects of possibility – sharp thinkers, problem solvers, and resourceful innovators who make things happen when no one else can. And every project is built to last.
