Opéra Capital

Opera Green Industry Capital (OGIC) is a €75 million climate private equity fund driving green, inclusive, and competitive industrialization and agriculture across Francophone West Africa. We provide growth capital and hands-on support to profitable mid-sized companies operating in decarbonized industry and climate-resilient agriculture, with a focus on green industrialization, sustainable food systems, energy transition, renewable energy, agritech, and low-carbon logistics. We invest in businesses that produce essential goods, strengthen regional value chains, lower their carbon footprint, and create sustainable jobs. Our mission is to transform these companies into pan-African industrial champions, through an integrated strategy that combines equity, technical assistance, and value chain structuring. Why now? Because : the climate emergency demands action — not delay, we must create meaningful jobs for Africa’s youth, the climate crisis is already affecting our regions — and we must respond with urgency and responsibility. Because Africa’s SMEs, rich in potential but starved of capital, must scale up and step forward: from local to global, polluting to low-carbon, informal to structured, fragile to competitive. Our ambition and impact Create thousands of decent jobs across priority sectors Achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 through local solutions Reduce import dependency and increase local value-added production Empower women and youth through access to finance and markets Promote circular, resource-efficient, and competitive business models Build resilient industrial ecosystems in climate-vulnerable regions Scale up climate adaptation through green transformation and infrastructure Support the emergence of a strong African middle class through inclusive growth Enable the rise of green responsible African midcaps and multinationals, generating long-term value and wealth Boost competitiveness of African enterprises and drive economic integration
