De-risking Sub-Saharan African infrastructure for foreign corporations, export credit agencies and sub-national governments through deep institutional networks.
AEM operates with institutional-grade intelligence across Sub-Saharan Africa's most active infrastructure investment corridors.
Most foreign companies discover World Bank SSA opportunities at procurement stage — when it's already too late to position effectively. AEM alerts you at concept stage, months or years before tenders open.
Everything on the dashboard is free. These are the services you engage AEM for — each priced on the project.
The free dashboard tells you a project exists. The Dossier tells you whether you can win it — and exactly how to approach it. Delivered within 48 hours of purchase.
"AEM introduced us to a Nigerian infrastructure contractor whose technical capacity and government relationships were exactly what we needed. That introduction led to a $3M deal that is now closed. The same relationship has since opened a $10M opportunity pipeline — with additional prospects emerging in Zambia's mining sector that we are now actively pursuing."
Priced by project complexity and deal value
AEM identifies SSA state governments with project needs, matches them with foreign contractors, and structures the sovereign-guaranteed ECA financing — bypassing the 2–3 year World Bank cycle where viable.
AEM works with SSA governments to structure ECA financing — EDC, UKEF and US Ex-Im. We match your project to the right foreign contractor, arrange the sovereign guarantee and manage the process to financial close.
An AEM intelligence briefing covering the essentials of entering Sub-Saharan African infrastructure markets — from understanding World Bank project cycles and ECA financing structures, to identifying the right local partners and government access points.
AEM publishes candid, opinionated market intelligence from the ground. Not press release summaries — analyst assessments from people who have sat in these rooms.
These briefings represent publicly shareable extracts. Full project intelligence — including PIU contact maps, procurement timeline forecasts and AEM's pursue/pass recommendation — is available as a Project Dossier.
All discussions are confidential. We assess every opportunity individually and only engage where AEM adds genuine value.
