BIO is a Brussels-based investment company that channels capital into private sector projects in developing and emerging economies to support growth and sustainable development aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. Its mandate emphasizes targeted geographic reach, appropriate financing tools, and measurable development impact as it concentrates on the financial sector, enterprises, and infrastructure. This focus aims to address the long-standing gap in access to long-term finance for private firms in developing markets and to strengthen the private sector's role in economic development. Its clients are private-sector actors in developing countries, including small enterprises that struggle to access long-term financing. A notable recent development is BIO's March 2026 investment in Orchidia Pharmaceutical Industries in Egypt, part of a consortium with SPE Capital, EBRD, and Proparco.
