About the Client

The Client is a biogas company based in Tunisia that specializes in converting animal waste into electricity and fertilizers. Operating at the intersection of waste management and renewable energy, the Client was looking to raise capital to scale its production and sales operations within the country.

Engagement

CrossBoundary Advisory assisted a biogas company in raising outside capital to fuel its expansion plans in Tunisia. The engagement involved the creation of high-quality investor materials, comprehensive support during the investor outreach process, and assistance through the due diligence stages.

This engagement was executed through USAID’s INVEST mechanism.

Investor Outreach: Identified and pitched to potential investors, facilitating match-making meetings in Tunisia between investors and the Company. This ensured that both parties were well-aligned in terms of investment objectives and growth prospects.

The Client secured the necessary capital to scale its operations, a milestone that reflects CrossBoundary Advisory’s commitment to facilitate impactful investments in the renewable energy sector in North Africa.
