THE GUEST OF ECO. Mediterrania Capital Partners supports the growth of large Moroccan and African SMEs, providing them with financial and strategic support to help them improve their level of development. Extract.
Mediterrania Capital Partners has identified dozens of companies that could fall within its scope. “We are able to invest several billion a year in large Moroccan SMEs, it’s just a matter of fund size,” explains Hatim Ben Ahmed, co-founder of Mediterrania Capital Partners.
Ambition displayed for the calendar generation of its fund (Fund 4): reach a target size of 350 million euros. Moreover, a significant part has already been secured. Mediterrania Capital Partners also works with co-investors, especially if the funds involved are very large.
“As Moroccan institutions do not put a ticket, we are looking for foreign investors to accompany us. They also trust us with management,” explains Hatim Ben Ahmed.
It should be noted that the operator relies on the commitment of its non-African investors, mainly the DFIs (Development Financial Institutions). A few family offices from the African continent are also on the list of Mediterrania investors, but no Moroccans.
On this subject, there is no ambiguity: “our first goal is to have the institutions on our side, by force of circumstance the Family offices will come”, affirms Hatim Ben Ahmed. Indeed, family businesses are more likely to invest in the ecosystem around them. The latter must reach sufficiently broad maturity phases to begin to diversify their investments. The co-founder of Mediterrania Capital Partners says that in Morocco, some families have reached this level of maturity.
