Ariya Capital Wins CFI.co Award for Clean Energy Investment Leadership in Sub-Saharan Africa
We’re pleased to share that Ariya Capital has been recognised by CFI.co as Best ESG Clean Energy Investment Partner Sub-Saharan Africa 2026.
The award recognises Ariya’s work investing in clean energy businesses and infrastructure that help unlock reliable, affordable power across the region while creating long-term economic opportunity.
At Ariya, we’ve always believed that meaningful progress comes from backing strong businesses, experienced operators, and commercially grounded solutions that respond to local realities. Across Sub-Saharan Africa, energy access remains one of the biggest barriers to economic growth, and we see enormous opportunity in supporting businesses that can help change that.
From distributed energy and productive-use infrastructure to scalable clean energy platforms, our focus is on investments that can deliver both strong outcomes and long-term resilience.
As the demand for reliable, affordable and sustainable energy continues to grow, so too does the need for patient capital, trusted partnerships, and practical execution. That is where we believe Ariya can play an important role.
Herta von Stiegel, Founder and CEO of Ariya Capital, said:
“This recognition reflects the work of an incredible network of founders, partners, investors and teams working to unlock Africa’s clean energy potential. We remain deeply committed to supporting businesses that combine commercial discipline with meaningful, long-term impact - creating opportunities for communities while helping strengthen the foundations for economic growth across the continent.”
We’re grateful to CFI.co for the recognition and look forward to continuing the work alongside the businesses and partners helping shape Africa’s energy future.
