‫بمناسبة معرض فرانكو تك، بنك الاستثمارات العامة وشركة سواري فينتشرز وشركة فلات6لابز يوقعون مذكرة تفاهم

تم توقيع مذكرة التفاهم بين بنك الاستثمارات العامة وسواري فينتشرز وفلات6لابز في إطار معرض فرانكو تيك للفرانكوفونية والابتكار في ستيشن إف في باريس، على هامش قمة الفرانكوفونية

القاهرة، مصر – EQS Newswire – 11 أكتوبر 2024خلال معرض فرانكو تيك الذي سيقام يومي 3 و4 أكتوبر 2024، في ستيشن إف في باريس، على هامش قمة الفرانكوفونية، أعلن كل من بنك الاستثمارات العامة وسواري فينتشرز وفلات6لابز عن توقيع مذكرة تفاهم تهدف إلى تعزيز العلاقات بين أفريقيا وأوروبا والشرق الأوسط لدعم رواد الأعمال الناطقين بالفرنسية والأفارقة بشكل أفضل في مساعيهم نحو التطوير عبر القارات الثلاث.

يأتي توقيع المذكرة بين بنك الاستثمارات العامة وسواري فينتشرز وفلات6لابز في إطار معرض فرانكو تيك للفرانكوفونية والابتكار في ستيشن إف في باريس، على هامش قمة الفرانكوفونية. يعد الابتكار أحد الأولويات الاستراتيجية لبنك الاستثمارات العامة، بداية من دعم البحث والتطوير إلى تعزيز رأس مال الشركات المبتكرة. تسلط هذه المذكرة الضوء على أهمية الابتكار لجميع الأطراف والأهمية الاستراتيجية لأفريقيا الناطقة بالفرنسية بالنسبة لشركة سواري فينتشرز، التي افتتحت مكتبًا جديدًا لها في داكار بالسنغال هذا العام، بالإضافة إلى مكاتبها في الدار البيضاء والقاهرة.

تأسست شركة سواري فينتشرز في عام 2010، وهي شركة رأس مال استثماري تستثمر في شركات التكنولوجيا الأفريقية في مرحلة النمو والتي تعالج التحديات الإقليمية والعالمية. وقد بنت سواري فينتشرز سجلاً حافلاً من خلال الاستثمار في صناعات رئيسية مثل التكنولوجيا العميقة والتكنولوجيا التعليمية والتكنولوجيا المالية، وكانت رائدة في تطوير منظومة الابتكار المحلية.

تعتبر فلات6لابز أكثر الشركات نشاطًا في مجال إدارة التمويل في المراحل المبكرة في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا. تمتلك فلات6لابز مكاتب في سبع بلدان، ولديها أكثر من 400 استثمار، ما يقرب من نصفها في إفريقيا، وتدير حوالي ثلاثين برنامجًا لدعم وإنشاء شركات مبتكرة. تعمل سواري فينتشرز وفلات6لابز (المجموعة) على بناء منصة تغطي مجموعة واسعة من التمويل، من مرحلة التمويل الأولي إلى سلسلة B+، مما يساعد في سد الفجوة بين شمال إفريقيا وأفريقيا جنوب الصحراء الكبرى من خلال دعم توسع الشركات في كلتا المنطقتين.

يهدف بنك الاستثمارات العامة والمجموعة إلى تعزيز الروابط بين أفريقيا وأوروبا والشرق الأوسط من خلال تسهيل الوصول إلى الأسواق وتطوير الشركات المبتكرة عبر القارات الثلاث. كما يطمحا إلى تحسين الوصول إلى التمويل للشركات المبتكرة التي تتخذ من فرنسا مقراً لها وتسعى إلى التوسع في أفريقيا، وكذلك للشركات الأفريقية التي تجري عمليات البحث والتطوير في فرنسا. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، يسعى كلاهما إلى تعزيز الشراكات التجارية والتكنولوجية بين الشركات الأوروبية وشركات الابتكار الأفريقية. وأخيرًا، تهدف هذه الشراكة إلى تسريع فرص الاستثمار المشترك بين شركات رأس المال الاستثماري الأوروبية والأفريقية.

يتمثل الهدف من الشراكة في تحديد رواد الأعمال الناطقين بالفرنسية المؤهلين من خلال بنك الاستثمارات العامة ورواد الأعمال الأفارقة المؤهلين من خلال المجموعة الذين يرغبون في التطور في مناطق أوروبا / إفريقيا / الشرق الأوسط. والهدف هو دعم تمويلهم والتطوير التكنولوجي والتجاري لشركاتهم، فضلاً عن تعزيز فرص الاستثمار المشترك بين المستثمرين الأوروبيين وسواري فينتشرز، وخاصة في مجال التكنولوجيا العميقة – وهو قطاع رئيسي كانت سواري فينتشرز رائدة فيه في مصر وأظهرت سجلاً حافلاً في هذا المجال. ولتحقيق هذه الغاية، سيتعاون الشركاء مع إدارات مختلفة داخل بنك الاستثمارات العامة التي تدعم تمويل ريادة الأعمال والابتكار في المنطقة، وكذلك مع المنصة الإلكترونية يورو كويتي، التي أنشأها بنك الاستثمارات العامة لتسهيل الاتصالات بين المستثمرين والشركات ونظمها البيئية على المستويين الأوروبي والدولي.

تربط منصة يورو كويتي الرقمية الشركات النامية التي يدعمها شركاء رائدون – مثل المفوضية الأوروبية، ووكالات التنمية والابتكار، والبنوك، والمجموعات الكبرى – بالمستثمرين وشركاء الأعمال على نطاق عالمي. كما تقدم خدمات تكميلية لتسهيل هذه الروابط وتعزيزها.

إن شراكتنا مع بنك الاستثمارات العامة تعكس التزامنا المشترك بتعزيز العلاقات بين أفريقيا وأوروبا والشرق الأوسط. ونحن نرى المزيد والمزيد من رواد الأعمال من هذه المناطق، وكذلك من جالياتهم، يطلقون شركات ذات طموحات أفريقية وإقليمية لكنهم يفتقرون إلى الوصول إلى الأدوات والشبكات اللازمة للنمو بشكل فعال. ونحن نهدف إلى بناء منصة يمكنها تحديدهم ودعمهم في توسعهم من خلال الاستفادة من الشراكات الرئيسية مع مؤسسات مثل بنك الاستثمارات العامة”. هذا ما قاله هاني السنباطي، المؤسس المشارك في سواري فينتشرز وفلات6لاب.

وأضافت إيزابيل بيبير، مديرة الشؤون الدولية والأوروبية في بنك الاستثمارات العامة، قائلة: “من الضروري تعزيز العلاقات بين النظم البيئية الأوروبية والأفريقية والشرق أوسطية، وخاصة فيما يتعلق بالابتكار والاستثمار، لتحديد فرص التنمية الجغرافية للشركات في هذه المناطق. وهذا على وجه التحديد هو هدف الشراكة بين بنك الاستثمارات العامة وسواري فينتشرز وفلات6لاب”.

نبذة عن بنك الاستثمارات العامة:

يمول بنك الاستثمارات العامة الشركات – في كل مرحلة من مراحل تطورها – بالائتمان والضمانات ورأس المال السهمي. ويدعم بنك الاستثمارات العامة الشركات في مشاريع الابتكار والتنمية الدولية. كما يدعم بنك الاستثمارات العامة أنشطتها التصديرية من خلال مجموعة واسعة من المنتجات. وتعد الاستشارات والجامعات ومد الشبكات وبرامج التسريع للشركات الناشئة والشركات الصغيرة والمتوسطة الحجم ومؤسسات ETIs جزءًا من الخدمات المقدمة إلى رواد الأعمال. وبفضل بنك الاستثمارات العامة ومكاتبه الإقليمية الخمسين، يستفيد رواد الأعمال من الاتصال الوثيق والفردي والفعال لمساعدتهم على مواجهة تحدياتهم.

On the Occasion of the Francotech Exhibition, BPI France, Sawari Ventures, and Flat6Labs Sign a Memorandum of Understanding

The signing of the memorandum between Bpifrance, Sawari Ventures, and Flat6Labs took place within the framework of the FrancoTech exhibition for Francophonie and Innovation at Station F in Paris, alongside the Francophonie Summit

CAIRO, EGYPT – EQS Newswire – 10 October 2024 – During the FrancoTech exhibition held on October 3 and 4, 2024, at Station F in Paris, alongside the Francophonie Summit, Bpifrance, Sawari Ventures, and Flat6Labs announce the signing of a memorandum of understanding aimed at strengthening ties between Africa, Europe, and the Middle East to better support Francophone and African entrepreneurs in their development across the three continents.

The signing of the memorandum between Bpifrance, Sawari Ventures, and Flat6Labs took place within the framework of the FrancoTech exhibition for Francophonie and Innovation at Station F in Paris, alongside the Francophonie Summit. Innovation is one of Bpifrance’s strategic priorities, from supporting R&D to strengthening the capital of innovative companies. This memorandum highlights the importance of innovation for all parties and the strategic significance of Francophone Africa for Sawari Ventures, which opened a new office in Dakar, Senegal, this year, in addition to its offices in Casablanca and Cairo.

Launched in 2010, Sawari Ventures is a venture capital firm that invests in growth-stage African tech companies addressing regional and global challenges. Sawari Ventures has built a strong track record by investing in key industries such as deeptech, edtech, and fintech, and has been a pioneer in developing the local innovation ecosystem.

Flat6Labs is the most active seed and early-stage fund manager in the MENA region. Flat6Labs has offices in seven countries, with over 400 investments, nearly half of which are in Africa, and operates around thirty programs that support and create innovative companies. Sawari Ventures and Flat6Labs (the “Group”) are building a platform that spans a broad spectrum of financing, from seed stage to Series B+, helping bridge the gap between North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa by supporting the expansion of companies in both regions.

Bpifrance and the Group aim to strengthen links between Africa, Europe, and the Middle East by facilitating market access and the development of innovative companies across the three continents. They also aspire to improve access to financing for innovative companies based in France looking to expand into Africa and for African companies conducting R&D or operations in France. Additionally, they seek to foster commercial and technological partnerships between European businesses and African innovation companies. Lastly, this partnership aims to accelerate co-investment opportunities between European and African venture capital firms.

The partnership’s objective is to identify qualified Francophone entrepreneurs through Bpifrance and qualified African entrepreneurs through the Group who wish to develop in the Europe/Africa/Middle East regions. The goal is to support their financing and the technological and commercial development of their companies, as well as to promote co-investment opportunities between European investors and Sawari Ventures, particularly in deeptech – a key sector where Sawari Ventures has been a pioneer in Egypt and has demonstrated a strong track record. To achieve this, the partners will collaborate with various departments within Bpifrance that support entrepreneurship and innovation financing in the region, as well as with the online platform EuroQuity, created by Bpifrance to facilitate connections between investors, companies, and their ecosystems at the European and international levels.

The EuroQuity digital platform connects growth companies supported by leading partners – such as the European Commission, development and innovation agencies, banks, and major groups – with investors and business partners on a global scale. It also offers complementary services to facilitate and strengthen these connections.

“Our partnership with Bpifrance reflects our shared commitment to strengthening ties between Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. We see more and more entrepreneurs from these regions, as well as from their diasporas, launching companies with Pan-African and regional ambitions but lacking access to the tools and networks needed to grow effectively. We aim to build a platform that can identify and support them in their expansion by leveraging key partnerships with institutions like Bpifrance,” said Hany Al-Sonbaty, Co-founder of Sawari Ventures and Flat6Labs.

Isabelle Bébéar, Director of International and European Affairs at Bpifrance, added: “It is essential to strengthen ties between European, African, and Middle Eastern ecosystems, particularly in terms of innovation and investment, to identify geographic development opportunities for companies in these regions. This is precisely the goal of the partnership between Bpifrance and Sawari Ventures and Flat6Labs.”

About Bpifrance:

Bpifrance finances companies – at every stage of their development – with credit, guarantees, and equity capital. Bpifrance supports them in their innovation and international development projects. Bpifrance also supports their export activities through a wide range of products. Consulting, university, networking, and acceleration programs for startups, SMEs, and ETIs are also part of the services offered to entrepreneurs.

The comprehensive development features three interconnected retail experiences – The Parade, The STOREYS (both open 25 October) and POST 1928 (to open in the next phase). Each offers a unique blend of shopping, dining, beauty, health, wellness and entertainment, catering to diverse preferences.

A Lush Urban Green in the Heart of Bangkok

Built on three development principles of People-Centricity, Green Sustainability and Smart City Living, One Bangkok prioritises visitors’ experience, with people being central to every decision. Every detail, from the intuitive layout to the abundance of green spaces, is carefully crafted to enhance everyday life.

One Bangkok’s masterplan is designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), a globally acclaimed architectural firm known for iconic structures such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. SOM has infused its expertise in sustainability, efficiency, and human-centred design into every element of One Bangkok.

With a remarkable 50% of its total land area dedicated to open and green spaces, the district breathes life into the city, offering a refreshing respite from the urban bustle. The development seamlessly connects the city’s two green ‘lungs’, Lumphini Park and Benjakitti Park, creating an interconnected network of green spaces that improves air quality and promotes biodiversity, thus fostering a healthier, more sustainable urban environment.

Scott Duncan, Design Partner at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) said: “Designing One Bangkok goes beyond creating buildings—we’ve crafted an ecosystem where nature is integral to the experience. The green spaces are not an afterthought; they flow seamlessly throughout the development, enhancing well-being and fostering a deeper connection between people and the city.”

Sustainability is at the core of the project, boasting cutting-edge and future-proof green smart technologies that deliver environmentally friendly and energy-saving solutions to enhance every aspect of the urban experience.

One Bangkok aims to set a new standard for sustainable urban development in Thailand in line with Bangkok 250, a visionary roadmap for the city’s 250th anniversary in 2032 to elevate Bangkok’s global standing through infrastructure advancements and suitability initiatives.

Its commitment to innovation has earned One Bangkok double Platinum certifications for both WiredScore and SmartScore respectively, the first real estate project in Thailand to achieve this milestone. One Bangkok is also the first project in Thailand to be awarded the prestigious LEED for Neighbourhood Development Platinum certification.
