About Inspired Evolution Investment Management

Inspired Evolution established in 2007 as a specialised investment business to lead sustainable clean energy and resource efficiency investments across sub-Saharan Africa. Inspired Evolution offers a dedicated, multi-disciplinary, professional investment team with a deep track record targeting superior returns with measured development outcomes. Inspired Evolution’s investment focus is centered on clean energy and resource efficiency assets. We have demonstrated that capital deployment to investments in this specialised asset class, can generate exceptional returns at the nexus of social equity, ecological integrity and responsible economic growth. This lies at the heart of sustainable investing. Inspired Evolution’s view is that sustainability is not only everybody’s business as citizens of a rapidly globalising world, but that it will define the future of business and investment decisions. Inspired Evolution manages Evolution One Fund – its first dedicated, closed-ended third party investment fund. Evolution One Fund makes early stage, expansion and development stage, and later stage or mature equity and equity-related investments primarily for control or significant minority positions in market-leading growth businesses located principally in South and southern Africa.
