Ten years after the opening of its first school, Enko La Gaieté, the Enko Education network is entering a new chapter in its development.

On this occasion, long-time investor Investisseurs & Partenaires (I&P) announces its exit from the company’s capital, marking the conclusion of a remarkable journey and the beginning of a promising future.

I&P is glad to share the story of SetTIC, a Senegalese company specializing in the treatment of corporate waste (waste electrical and electronic equipment, waste characterization audits and special waste recycling).

SetTIC was founded in 2013 and is run by two women engineers, Boussoura Talla and Julie Repetti, who specialize in information and communication technologies and the environment.

I&P exits the capital of Enko Education, a network of international African schools that gives the continent's youth access to the best universities in the world, a company in which I&P invested in 2016 through the I&P Afrique Entrepreneurs 1 fund from the earliest stages of the company's development, alongside Proparco.

I&P is proud to announce a major step in the development of two of its portfolio companies, Socium and Solarbox, which have just successfully raised strategic funds. These operations mark a decisive turning point for these innovative companies, which are committed to accelerating access to sustainable energy and digital solutions for African populations.

From November 5 to 7, 2024, Investisseurs & Partenaires (I&P) and Le Club Africain des Entrepreneurs co-hosted the tenth edition of the Séminaire Entrepreneurs.

Founded in Gabon in 2012 by Folly Koussawo with the support of Seydou Béyé, Trianon Homes is a real estate development and construction company with three core businesses: third-party construction, turnkey project design and construction, and real estate development.
