Our Target Sectors and Geographies
STOA invests in five major infrastructure sectors: energy, transport and logistics, telecoms, the environment and social infrastructure. The projects we support are located in Africa, Latin America and Asia.
Target Sectors
ENERGY
Emerging and developing countries are facing two challenges: increasing access to energy for their populations, and at the same time adopting a low-carbon transition strategy. To contribute to this dynamic, we are investing in all kinds of renewable energy infrastructure.
- Production (C&I, utility scale, mini-grid, off-grid)
- Transmission
- Distribution
- Storage
- Hydrogen
- Biomass…
TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS
There are significant transport and logistics needs in emerging and developing countries, but private investment in this area is still largely insufficient. We are committed to supporting actors in the sector to address this situation and promote sustainable and inclusive growth.
- Urban transport
- Rail
- Electric mobility
- Airports
- Ports and dry ports
- Logistics
- Roads and highways
- Bridges
- Tunnels…
TELECOM
The digital sector plays a crucial role in global market dynamics. In this context, building high-performance telecommunications infrastructure is essential for emerging and developing countries. We invest in companies that help to densify and expand these infrastructures.
- Optical fibre
- Datacentres
- Mobile networks and TowerCos
- Submarine cables
- Satellites…
ENVIRONMENT
Protecting the environment is a global challenge. To help meet this challenge in the areas where we operate, we are targeting projects to improve the resilience of water management and waste treatment systems, as well as infrastructure projects specifically designed to preserve ecosystems. Our environmental and social (E&S) strategy also integrates this issue across our portfolio.
- Water sanitation and distribution
- Desalination
- Waste management and treatment
- Nature-based solutions…
SOCIAL
Access to basic services such as health and education is a major challenge in emerging and developing countries. Addressing this challenge is a key development priority to contribute to balanced economic and social development.
- Clinics and hospitals
- Laboratories and diagnostic centres
- Universities
- Student residences
- Public buildings…
