Investments & Partnerships
Driving Strategic Equity Investments for the region’s Energy Sector.
Strategic Capital and Long-Term Partnerships
The Investments & Partnerships business line strategically deploys capital through direct and indirect equity investments across the energy value chain. Alongside managing a diversified equity portfolio, the Fund leverages its international network to access advanced technologies and build long-term partnerships.
Investment activities are mainly focused on the MENA region, but can go beyond, whenever there are value chain linkages or other merits to TAEF’s shareholders and the region. Active portfolio management and disciplined exits enable the Fund to optimize returns while supporting sustainable industrial development.
