Energise Africa is a financial platform launched in 2017 as a joint initiative between two established European impact investing companies: Ethex (UK) and Lendahand (Netherlands). The platform's mission is to accelerate progress towards UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) by providing affordable finance to solar businesses in Africa. It operates as a crowdfunding marketplace where individual investors can lend money directly to solar energy companies, helping to combat climate change and alleviate poverty while aiming to earn a financial return. The platform is operated by Ethex Investment Club Limited.
