Description
IFC a member of the World Bank Group is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We work in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities in developing countries. In fiscal year 2023, IFC committed a record US$43.7 billion to private companies and financial institutions in developing countries, leveraging the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity as economies grapple with the impacts of global compounding crises.

IFC sees Private Equity (PE) making a valuable contribution to development through providing capital and know-how to fast-growing companies which are leading drivers of job creation in emerging markets in addition to a focus on the creative industries (Audio/Visual, Fashion, Sports and Entertainment and Music). IFC does this through both investments in Venture Capital and Private Equity funds and direct investments in technology companies from early to late stage.PE funds combine capital and expertise to address access to finance constraints faced by small to mid-sized companies (SMEs) in emerging markets (EM) and provide critical support to enable those companies to achieve the operational efficiency and governance standards required to realize their high-growth potential. IFCs current portfolio of funds business is over US$7 billion and comprises more than 340 portfolio funds.
IFC's Disruptive Technology Group invests in venture and growth stage companies that offer innovative technologies or business models geared at emerging markets. By executing transactions at a stage less suited for IFCs more traditional business, we enhance the organization's strong commitment to innovation, supporting local businesses, and accelerating cross-border technology transfers. IFCs current portfolio stands at over $2 billion in around 100 projects. This effort is cross-sectoral and involves introducing both global and regional IFC mainstream experts in both the diligence and post-investment value creation as a partnership.
