BIO officially opens Nairobi office

Belgian development finance institution BIO has officially launched its East African office.

The regional office focuses on sustainable investments in private companies in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda. It also serves Ethiopia, Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique. It is strategically positioned in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital city which has long been regarded as East Africa’s economic hub.

”Having a presence in Eastern Africa is key to increase our impact and footprint in the region,” said Alexis Losseau, head of the Nairobi office.

The purpose of the local office is primarily to assess and identify new investment opportunities with the support of the Belgian head office for the execution of investments.
