Investment thesis

DEG has spent over 60 years financing private enterprise in developing and emerging markets, positioning itself as more than a financier and instead a partner in sustainable transformation. It combines long-term financing, advisory services and promotional programs with deep market knowledge, impact and climate expertise and an international network. Its offerings span German companies investing abroad, funds focused on emerging markets, banks and financial institutions, and infrastructure and renewable-energy projects. Development impact serves as its guiding measure, supporting clients through ESG management, growth-stage financing and co-financing of development-effective measures.
