PRIORITY SECTORS

Our investment strategy is all about transforming key sectors and industries that are vital for the country's growth. While we're open to supporting a variety of companies, the bulk of our funding will go to those focused on advancing in areas like bioagriculture, e-commerce, media, healthcare, transportation, tourism, real estate, finance, and any products or services that enhance people's quality of life.

Bioagriculture

Investing in bio agriculture in Haiti is a fantastic opportunity to foster sustainable economic growth while tackling pressing environmental and social issues in Haiti. The agricultural sector is grappling with problems like soil degradation, deforestation, and a heavy dependence on imported, often subpar food products. Embracing bio agriculture could be the key to turning these challenges around.

Ecommerce

Investing in e-commerce in Haiti presents a fantastic opportunity to dive into a fast-growing market with plenty of potential. Although the retail and service sectors in Haiti are mostly informal and localized, e-commerce can help tackle many of the logistical hurdles that have historically held back business growth in the country.

Media and telecomunication

Investing in the media and telecommunications sector in Haiti is a smart move, as it plays a crucial role in driving economic growth, enhancing education, and fostering social unity. The media landscape is ripe with opportunities for impactful investments. With the increasing need for diverse and trustworthy information, there's a real chance to innovate through TV, radio, and digital platforms.

Healthcare, well-being & Fitness

Investing in healthcare and well-being in Haiti isn't just the right thing to do; it's also a smart economic move. The country is grappling with ongoing issues like a lack of proper medical facilities, a shortage of qualified health professionals, and alarmingly high rates of preventable diseases. However, the potential for a good return on investment is boosted by global shifts towards preventive care and a focus on holistic wellness.

Transportation & Logistics

Investing in transportation in Haiti is crucial for sparking economic growth and enhancing social development. The country’s infrastructure for roads, maritime transport, and public transit is quite lacking, which hampers trade, tourism, and access to vital services. By making strategic investments, we can not only see significant returns but also improve connectivity, create jobs, and promote sustainable economic advancement throughout the nation.

Tourism, Hospitality & Leisure

Investing in tourism in Haiti is a fantastic opportunity to embrace its vibrant culture, stunning beaches, and rich historical background. By focusing on smart infrastructure and effective marketing, we can create jobs, stimulate local economies, attract foreign investment, and showcase Haiti as a one-of-a-kind Caribbean destination. This approach not only drives sustainable growth but also fosters community development.

Real Estate Development

Investing in real estate in Haiti presents a fantastic opportunity, thanks to the rapid urbanization, interest from the diaspora, and a growing need for housing, commercial properties, and tourism facilities. By focusing on strategic projects, we can stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and foster community development. With the right planning, real estate investments can yield impressive returns while also playing a vital role in modernizing Haiti and addressing housing shortages.

Finance & Microfinance

Investing in Haiti’s financial sector holds significant potential to reshape access to capital, foster entrepreneurship, and bolster the national economy. The country’s predominantly unbanked population, alongside a burgeoning small business community, underscores the urgent need for innovative financial services. By expanding microfinance initiatives, introducing digital payment systems tailored to the Haitian context, and developing robust credit infrastructures, stakeholders can bridge critical funding gaps and empower local entrepreneurs.

Other key sectors

Haiti, despite facing its fair share of challenges, is brimming with untapped opportunities for investors looking for high potential returns. With its strategic location, a vibrant young population, and a wealth of natural and cultural resources, the country is shaping up to be an emerging market with plenty of room for growth. There are several key sectors that stand out for investment, including Renewable Energy, Technology & ICT, Mining, Education & Training, Manufacturing, Water & Sanitation, and Creative Industries.
