In FINANCIAL TIMES’ ranking of Africa’s fastest-growing companies for 2023, two of our AAIC Investment portfolio companies, Africa Healthcare Network (“AHN”) and JIBU ranked 13th and 61st, respectively, among the top 100 companies (Article #1).
To be included in the ranking, companies had to meet certain criteria, such as a company’s “sales of $100,000 or more in 2018 and $1.5 million or more in 2021”. The ranking lists 100 companies by the highest average annual growth rate in revenues from 2018 to 2021. The article focuses on the presence of Africa’s fastest-growing companies, even as headwinds in the global economy.
AHN, which operates dialysis centres mainly in Tanzania, Rwanda, and Kenya, was featured in a separate FINANCIAL TIMES article, which also touched AAIC Investment (Article #2).
