About us

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

Together with Gemcorp Capital, we offer a unique platform, combining global capital with operational expertise to ensure strategic projects deliver tangible, long-term value. Our work is end-to-end: finance, build, operate, and maintain.

Every dollar we commit creates positive economic, social, and environmental impact. With our deep expertise and local integration, we identify potential in markets where others have not – catalysing transformation, igniting opportunities, and enriching communities.

Our proven success and rapid growth over the past decade are matched only by our ambition for the next.

Emerging markets face a persistent challenge: how to convert capital and strategic planning into completed projects that deliver tangible outcomes with long-term value. Studies from the World Bank, the AfDB and McKinsey confirm that fewer than 10% of infrastructure projects in emerging markets reach financial close. More than 70% of projects overrun on budgets and on timelines. 

We make sure that every project we originate is financially viable, feasible to execute, operable, and sustainable over time. We target four verticals that form the backbone of economic and human development. With this focus, we are doing more than just meeting today’s needs – we are shaping the infrastructure and industries of tomorrow, building a stronger, more sustainable future.

We have invested over USD 8 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.

There is no other emerging markets player like us. We combine global capital and operational expertise in a single, integrated model. We ensure every project we originate is financially viable, feasible to execute, operable, and sustainable for the long-term. Every project is designed to last.

We are the architects of possibility – sharp thinkers, problem solvers, and resourceful innovators who make things happen when no one else can. With our integrated network of investment and operating teams, we have a unique ability to connect global capital with on-the-ground execution.
