Digital Climate Group (DCG), the digital investment bank, and Alteia Investment Management, a leading alternative investment fund manager with deep roots in Africa and the Middle East, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a long-term strategic collaboration focused on impact-driven investment opportunities.

The partnership brings together DCG’s expertise in structuring innovative impact finance solutions and digital asset platforms with Alteia’s proven track record in alternative financing and its extensive project pipeline across Africa and the Middle East. By combining strengths, the two organizations aim to accelerate capital flows into impact projects that strengthen energy resilience, improve agricultural productivity, and enhance food security through innovation.

Mariam Mubarak, Senior Executive Officer of Alteia Investment Management, said:

“Alteia has built a strong track record of financing SMEs and trade in Africa and the Middle East. Partnering with DCG allows us to scale these efforts with technology, attract new investors, and direct more capital into sectors that drive energy independence, sustainable food systems, and inclusive growth.”

Key areas of collaboration include:

• Joint investment fund: Launching a co-managed investment vehicle targeting high-impact opportunities in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, in renewable energy, agri-tech, and future-proof infrastructure.

• Cross-border capital mobilization: Leveraging DCG’s networks in Asia, including Japan, to connect Alteia’s funds with institutional and high-net-worth investors.

• Technology-enabled impact finance: Deploying DCG’s digital infrastructure to originate, monitor, and report on impact-aligned investments in energy, agriculture, and other critical sectors.
