Networking for Impact: DEG Impact at the MC 4 Fund's LPA in Madrid   In October, Lars Zimmermann of DEG Impact was privileged to attend the Limited Partner Advisory Committee (LPAC) of the Mediterrania Capital Partners MC 4 Fund in Madrid. It was a great exchange and a valuable opportunity to network with like-minded individuals in the world of impact investing! It was particularly inspiring to meet so many other investors who are focused on the African continent. The clear focus is on combining attractive financial returns with measurable impact—an approach that perfectly aligns with DEG Impact's strategy. - The Exchange: The discussions at the LPAC once again highlighted how crucial close collaboration between LPs is for identifying best practices and maximizing the impact of our investments in Africa. - The Focus on Africa: The continent offers enormous growth opportunities, and the importance of Private Equity and Venture Capital in strengthening local economies and creating jobs is undeniable. - Return & Impact: We firmly believe that financial success and positive social and environmental outcomes can and must go hand-in-hand. Meetings like this in Madrid are essential to advance our shared goals: fostering sustainable development and generating attractive returns. Many thanks to the MC 4 Fund team, Albert Alsina & Mario Bonet for the excellent organization and the constructive platform! #DEGImpact #Africa #PrivateEquity #EmergingMarkets #MC4Fund #Madrid

The TLcom Africa Tech Female Founder Summit has always been more than an event — it’s been a catalyst for change. This year marks an important evolution as the Summit transforms into a multi-month programme, “Turning the Tide: Riding the next Growth Wave.” Building on seven years of connecting and inspiring Africa’s top female founders, the new format goes further — providing structured training, mentorship, and investor engagement beyond the Summit itself. This transformation reflects the growing need for long-term, sustained support for women entrepreneurs — enabling them to scale and become investment-ready. At AfricaGrow, we’re proud to co-fund this next chapter alongside partners such as FMO, helping TLcom deepen its impact and continue shaping a more inclusive venture ecosystem across Africa. #AfricaGrow #KfW #DEGImpact #AllianzGI #WomenInTech #VCinAfrica #GenderLensInvesting #TLcomFemaleFounder25 #AfricaTech #EmergingMarkets
