Gemcorp Joins AIM Congress 2026 as Gold Partner Advancing Investment Across Emerging Markets

The Gemcorp Group, a global asset management and operations platform specializing in emerging markets, participates as a Gold Partner of AIM Congress 2026. AIM Congress, is the world’s leading investment platform, held in partnership with the UAE Ministry of Foreign Trade.

Marcus Weyll, CEO Middle East & Africa Gemcorp Group & CEO Imbono, will deliver a keynote address titled: “From Capital to Concrete: Financing Africa’s Next Era of Infrastructure Growth” on Wednesday 9 September at 2:00pm.

In addition to the keynote, Marcus Weyll participated in an AfCFTA hosted panel: “Strengthening Africa’s Investment Environment” and a fireside chat discussing the critical infrastructure requirements of future cities. Asad Hajiyev, Senior Executive Officer and Portfolio Manager at Gemcorp Capital, took part in a closed-door roundtable hosted by the Banque Central du Congo on 7 September. 

“We believe that investors who do best in emerging markets over the coming decade will be the ones who match their capital to what they are actually financing and take the time to understand each project on its own terms,” said Marcus Weyll. “It’s a pleasure to be in Dubai at a congress built around the idea that trade and integration should turn into investment that drives sustainable and inclusive prosperity.”

At AIM Congress, Gemcorp showcases capabilities across three principal areas: regulated asset management in private markets; commodities trading, procurement, logistics, and supply chain management; and infrastructure delivery and operations. Together, these capabilities position the Group at the intersection of capital and implementation.

The company’s platform combines the private markets expertise of Gemcorp Capital with the industrial and operational capabilities of Imbono. This integrated approach enables the Group to finance, execute, and operate large scale projects spanning energy, water, food security, logistics, and social infrastructure.

While risk in emerging markets is often associated with economic fundamentals, Gemcorp views complexity, including execution challenges, market access, and coordination between stakeholders, as a central factor influencing investment outcomes. Its model addresses these challenges through local relationships, partnerships with sovereign entities and key institutions, and active operational oversight throughout the investment lifecycle.

Since 2014, the Group has invested more than US$9 billion across over 25 countries, originating, structuring, and executing investments designed to address essential economic and infrastructure needs. Its participation at the Congress highlights how investors can move beyond financing to manage execution risk, navigate market complexity, and translate capital into measurable outcomes.

Its portfolio includes investments and partnerships involving Banco de Negócios Internacional, the Cabinda Oil Refinery joint venture with Sonangol, Osprey Renewables, and infrastructure vehicles developed with Angola’s sovereign wealth fund, FSDEA. Gemcorp has also completed a senior secured direct lending facility for Bab Al Wasal Group, marking its first private capital deployment in the UAE and an important milestone in the development of its Middle East franchise.

Through Imbono, the Group is pursuing a broader mission to improve lives through investments in essential infrastructure, supported by an international team comprising professionals from 32 countries who collectively speak 24 languages. Alongside this, Kuena serves as the Group's social-impact platform, driving community-focused initiatives across health, education, environment and financial inclusion in the markets where Gemcorp operates.
