We are EWIA
Ideas From Munich With Actions in Africa
EWIA gives small and medium-sized companies in Africa access to clean solar energy and serves as a bridge builder to investors in Europe and for the transfer of technology know-how.
With a risk-diversified portfolio approach of companies from different sectors and in different regions, EWIA gives private and institutional investors access to attractive impact investments in Africa - in the fight against climate change and for a sustainable economic upswing as well as a more even distribution of wealth.
With the flexible full-service financing solution from EWIA, companies in Africa have the opportunity to obtain solar power, liquidity, security and service from a single source. In the area of infrastructure, EWIA finances and builds mobile phone transmission masts and traffic monitoring systems and equips them with PV systems.
