Mikro Kapital | Council for Inclusive Capitalism

Mikro Kapital is a sustainable social-economic-minded company which helps entrepreneurs, mainly in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and APAC (AsiaPacific) countries, build their businesses, while also contributing to the development of the global economy, by providing financial and technical assistance support to business for facilitating a strong and sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem. We create value through development and progress.

Purpose

Mikro Kapital’s current mission is to judiciously target economic growth in the countries where we invest, by ensuring financial flows to niche markets considered safe and profitable. We also supply know-how, avoiding speculation and supporting, where it is possible, the continuous growth of small businesses. The reasonable result is a general social improvement and an increasing wealth of our investors. To this end, we foster environmentally and socially responsible sustainable development across the regions we invest in and it is our priority to make certain that ESG factors are appropriately included into our investment portfolio and decision-making processes. This strategy is supported by our approach, being as close to beneficiary entrepreneurs as possible, which includes having portfolio companies in all the countries where we invest and therefore supporting local borrowers. As a result, and as we consider that micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) are the building blocks of the socioeconomic development chain, we believe that by investing in them and therefore the labour market, we are not only developing them from a financial and economic perspective, but also fostering the social and cultural development in each and every country in which we invest.

Knowing that words alone are not enough, each of us is making a series of commitments about how we will operate our institutions so that they help achieve Inclusive Capitalism. These commitments are forward-looking statements based on current goals, expectations and assumptions, which are not guarantees of future performance.
