Investisseurs & Partenaires (I&P) est une famille de fonds d’investissement créée en 2002 par Patrice Hopenot, et dirigée depuis 2011 par Jean-Michel Severino.
I&P accompagne le développement de PME africaines (y compris des institutions de microfinance), à travers une relation de partenariat stratégique et financier. Ces entreprises constituent un maillon essentiel du développement en Afrique, car elles produisent des impacts sociaux, environnementaux et de gouvernance.
Pour accomplir cette mission, I&P dispose de deux véhicules financiers (IPDEV et IPAE) et met en œuvre des instruments diversifiés (prises de participation minoritaires, prêt, etc.), principalement auprès d’entreprises d’Afrique de l’Ouest et d’Afrique Centrale et de l’Océan Indien. Elle s’appuie sur une équipe engagée, exigeante et expérimentée présente à Paris et dans cinq pays africains : Ghana, Cameroun, Sénégal, Côte d’Ivoire et Madagascar.
