Schulze Global Ethiopia Growth and Transformation Fund I

Compiled from public sources

The Schulze Global Ethiopia Growth and Transformation Fund I, also known as SGI Ethiopia Growth and Transformation Fund, is a closed-end private equity fund dedicated exclusively to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Ethiopia. Launched as the first international private equity fund focused on the country, the fund's strategy was to provide much-needed growth capital to businesses in a challenging frontier market. The fund employs an active, hands-on approach, providing operational and managerial support alongside capital. It targets market-driven sectors with high growth potential, driven by Ethiopia's strong population demographics and middle-class growth, including agro-processing, manufacturing, education, and healthcare.
