OSA Growth Capital

Where Infrastructure Meets Impact

About us

OSA Growth Cap­i­tal is a blend­ed fi­nance fund aligned with SF­DR Ar­ti­cle 9, struc­tured as a Vari­able Cap­i­tal Com­pa­ny (VCC) and in­cor­po­rat­ed in Mau­ri­tius. We in­vest in de­cen­tral­ized, cli­mate-re­silient in­fras­truc­ture and es­sen­tial ser­vices across un­der­served mar­kets in Africa — where the need for scal­able, sus­tain­able so­lu­tions is ur­gent and grow­ing.

Africa faces an an­nu­al in­fras­truc­ture in­vest­ment gap of o­ver €100 bil­lion. Ris­ing cli­mate risks, rapid de­mo­graph­ic changes, and con­strained pub­lic fi­nanc­ing call for bold, fu­ture-ori­ent­ed so­lu­tions. We in­vest in plat­forms de­liv­er­ing es­sen­tial ser­vices — such as so­lar-pow­ered wa­ter con­ces­sions — through long-term, cash-flow-vis­i­ble mod­els that are aligned with the UN Sus­tain­able De­vel­op­ment Goals (SDGs).

At OSA Growth Cap­i­tal, we don’t just in­vest in in­fras­truc­ture — we build re­silient sys­tems that em­pow­er com­mu­ni­ties and shape a more sus­tain­able fu­ture.
