What we build

Capital.
Capability.
Entrepreneurship.

Three constraints. Three practical responses.

Capital & Markets

Global Markets Singapore

African institutions need more than capital. They need access: to investors, banks, markets, relationships and financial infrastructure beyond the continent. Global Markets provides that access.

From Singapore, we connect African governments, development finance institutions, banks and businesses with Asian and international financial institutions.

Capital Raising

Structuring and executing institutional funding for African governments, DFIs, banks and businesses.

Trade Finance

Connecting African trade and financial institutions with international liquidity, banks, export credit agencies, insurers and risk capacity.

Africa-Asia Access

Investor engagement, institutional introductions, roadshows and transaction-led relationships across Singapore, Japan, China, Korea, India and the wider Asian market.

Digital Markets

Developing new routes to capital using Singapore's financial, regulatory and digital-market infrastructure.

Capital. Trade. Markets. Execution.

Talk to Global Markets

Institutional Capability

The Banking Academy

Banking is not improved by certificates. It is improved by better decisions.

The Banking Academy works with African financial institutions to strengthen the people making those decisions.

Programmes focus on the disciplines that determine institutional performance:

  • Credit
  • Treasury
  • Risk
  • Compliance
  • Leadership

The ambition is straightforward:

Build better bankers. Build stronger banks.

Entrepreneurship

Pivot Africa

iiAfrica is developing talented young Africans. The next question is harder: How many of them will build companies?

Pivot Africa is a partnership between DWM and iiAfrica created to help maturing iiAfrica cohorts make that transition. It brings together entrepreneurial development, mentorship, networks, commercial exposure and pathways to capital.

The objective is not simply to teach entrepreneurship.
It is to create entrepreneurs.

Behind these businesses is a simple question:

What will it take to make Africa competitive?
