Mobilizing Capital for Project Development
-
Catalyzing Project Preparation:
We recognize that a major barrier to infrastructure investment in emerging markets is the shortage of well-prepared, bankable projects. Banneker Capital provides early-stage equity and development capital to support feasibility studies, technical assessments, and project structuring, ensuring projects become investment-ready and attractive to larger investors12.Active Sponsor Support:
Beyond capital, we provide hands-on support in project execution, stakeholder engagement, and operational optimization to maximize success and impact. Our team works closely with project sponsors to navigate regulatory, technical, and financial complexities, drawing on deep sectoral expertise and local knowledge to lay the groundwork for successful execution1.
-
Raising Equity and Debt:
As projects progress, we help sponsors secure mid- and late-stage equity as well as debt financing from a diverse mix of sources, including commercial banks, development finance institutions (DFIs), multilateral development banks (MDBs), and private institutional investors342. This blended approach enables us to tailor financing structures to each project’s needs and risk profile.Leveraging Partnerships:
We actively cultivate relationships with DFIs, MDBs, and other institutional partners to co-invest and mobilize additional capital, recognizing their critical role in catalyzing private investment in emerging markets45.
