Investisseurs & Partenaires (I&P) is an impact investing group dedicated to small and medium enterprises in Sub-Saharan Africa, striving to contribute to a sustainable and inclusive growth on the African continent. I&P was created in 2002 by Patrice Hoppenot, former co-founder of BC Partners and expert in private equity issues. After his retirement in 2011, Jean-Michel Severino, previously CEO of Agence Française de Développement (2001-2010) and Vice-President of the World Bank for Asia (1996-2000), took over the management of the company. I&P currently employs about 20 people, based in Paris and six African local offices (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Madagascar and Senegal). I&P’s mission is to contribute to the rise of a sustainable and dynamic private sector in Sub-Saharan Africa. Since its inception, I&P has invested in more than 50 companies in 15 African countries. This has generated the creation or maintenance of more than 2,600 jobs, as well as annual growth rates of 24% in the investee companies.
