MAKING AFRICA
COMPETITIVE.

Africa should be far more competitive than it is. DWM exists to change that.

Too many good businesses, talented people and serious institutions are constrained by expensive capital, weak institutional capability and too few pathways from talent to enterprise.

We concentrate on three things that matter.

Capital & Markets

Global Markets Singapore

Connecting Africa with capital, trade and Asian markets.

We help African governments, development finance institutions, banks and businesses raise capital, finance trade and build relationships with international financial institutions. From Singapore, we provide a direct bridge into Asian capital and markets.

Ideas into action

What will it take to make Africa competitive?

We pursue that question through our work on capital, trade, markets, energy, governance, entrepreneurship, technology and institutions. And where we find something worth changing, we try to build the answer.
