Driving sustainable Growth with strategic investments
“One cannot resist the lure of Africa”
This statement by the great Rudyard Kipling undoubtedly resonated with me. Through GulfLog Africa, I have combined my deep personal bond with Africa and a fervent aspiration to own and invest in businesses on this remarkable continent. In doing so, I strive to generate enduring value for stakeholders, while concurrently fostering prospects for our employees and the communities around them.
I’m living the dream and you are welcome to be part of this journey.

Unveiling Opportunities with GulfLog
Our investment focus aims to fuel sustainable growth across diverse sectors. We offer a unique pathway to untapped markets across Africa.
Market Expansion Services (MES)
The MES theme helps companies to grow their business in new and existing markets through the offering of select services across the value chain. The growing consumer markets in Africa across multiple sectors (capital goods, food, beverages, clothing, household appliances etc) offers significant opportunities and we can expand our MES offerings by supporting clients in accessing African customers.
Logistics Infrastructure and Related Services
At GulfLog, we actively seek to invest in logistics assets, employing a strategy that involves integrating related services. These services not only enhance the utilization of our core assets but also lead to improved margins. Our focus goes beyond conventional logistics; we encompass services like waste management, repair and maintenance, and cold storage. This comprehensive approach addresses the evolving needs of Africa's expanding requirements.
Technology
African ICT is one of the fastest growing sectors. The youth population is growing up in the digital age and technology has become an integral part of life with the ever growing middle class in Africa utilising technology in some or other form today. This rapidly growing generation has been raised on the internet and social media, with some of the oldest finishing college by 2020 and entering the workforce today. Gen Z will also soon become the largest cohort of consumers—and brands who want a piece of this opportunity will need to understand their tendencies and digital expectations.
Our Vision: A Thriving African Economy
