About Us

Banneker Capital is a pioneering investment firm dedicated to accelerating infrastructure development across emerging markets. Founded in 2025, our mission is to bridge the critical funding gap for early-stage and growth-phase infrastructure projects, with a particular emphasis on public-private partnerships (PPPs) that drive sustainable economic growth and community impact.

We believe that robust infrastructure is the foundation for prosperity in emerging economies. By providing catalytic capital and hands-on support to project sponsors, we help transform ambitious ideas into bankable projects that attract global investment and deliver long-term value.
