Inspired Evolution was established in 2007 as a first-mover specialised investment manager dedicated to key climate-driven principal investment themes: clean energy and sustainable energy infrastructure; energy access and energy and resource efficiency growth investments – and the value chains that support them. Headquartered in Cape Town with our staff spread across our international, regional and country offices in London, Nairobi, Abidjan and Grand Bay in Mauritius, we have boots on the ground in Southern, Western and Eastern Africa. Our mission is focused on delivering positive, lasting impact to Africa’s extraordinary people. As one of the pioneering clean energy fund managers in Africa, we stand at the forefront of reshaping the energy landscape across the continent. Leveraging our profound understanding of local markets, extensive regional networks, and proven expertise in growth and infrastructure investments, we are spearheading this transformative journey. Our investment philosophy is shaped by the need to find innovative responses in technology, production, and business models to address the needs of a rapidly changing world and compromised environment. We are bridging the funding gap by investing in clean energy infrastructure projects and growth companies that are enabling energy access and developing resource efficient, reliable, affordable, disruptive solutions.
