Investment is crucial to market transformation. But many sustainable development projects miss out on financing owing to uncertainties in outcomes, insufficient returns or inadequate investment size.
From co-funding business models to developing investable projects and managing impact funds, our solutions address this significant gap in the market by mobilising a blend of public and private capital to realise otherwise impossible impact projects.
Combining over a decade of investment experience with our 15-year track record in identifying and implementing successful impact projects, we deliver innovative financial solutions.
Across emerging markets, there is momentum to invest in blended finance solutions that protect forests, promote responsible land use, and empower smallholder farmers through sustainable and inclusive agriculture. IDH is working to shift the investment paradigm by reducing investment risk and aligning capital with purpose.
Do you have an innovative commercial project in mind that will deliver strong social and environmental value? We partner public- and private-sector agencies to share expertise and develop new sustainable business models through grants and technical support.
Through co-funding we aim to trigger investments that businesses would not make otherwise, enabling transformational projects to happen more quickly, at a bigger scale, and with better development outcomes.
IDH Invest is our integrated investment arm that specialises in developing investable opportunities and managing high-impact funds as part of our strategy to achieve market transformation at scale. A great example of this is the IDH Farmfit Fund which provides de-risking financial instruments for smallholder farmer related financing transactions, opening access to investors and catalysing commercial capital to co-invest in the sector. Unlike most impact investors, we specifically focus on transformative projects with higher risk profiles.
Our funds under management offer de-risked investment opportunities that deliver social, ecological and financial returns.
Our Investment Development Hubs and Technical Assistance Facilities get businesses investment-ready and projects successfully implemented.
