Tagaddod, an Egypt-based renewable feedstocks platform operating across Africa, Asia and Europe, has closed a $26.3 million Series A funding round. The investment was led by The Arab Energy Fund (TAEF) with further participation from FMO, Verod-Kepple Africa Ventures and A15.
Tagaddod has built a proprietary platform that collects and tracks waste-based feedstocks – including used cooking oil, acid oils and animal fats – from thousands of suppliers such as households, restaurants, food manufacturers and waste collectors. With regional hubs in Egypt, Jordan and the Netherlands, and a growing presence in Saudi Arabia and other markets, the company supports sustainable supply chains for global refineries and producers of biofuels and sustainable aviation fuel.
“This is more than just a funding milestone – it’s a strategic partnership that empowers us to take bold steps toward building the infrastructure, technology, and supply chains needed to support a cleaner energy future,” said Nour El Assal, co-founder and CEO of Tagaddod.
“This is a compelling opportunity to support a founder-led company operating in a mission-critical and underserved segment,” said Maheur Mourali, chief investment officer of The Arab Energy Fund. “Tagaddod’s platform reflects our commitment to backing scalable, sustainable infrastructure that accelerates the region’s transition to alternative energy, resource efficiency, and circular economic models, including our long-term goal of leadership in the biofuels space.”
