Diaspora Investment Link · Ethiopia first, Africa next
DIL finds promising businesses and projects, helps assess them, connects them with the right diaspora investors and partners, and supports the journey forward.
What is DIL?
People bring capital, knowledge, professional experience and a lasting connection to home.
Local enterprises and developers need credible routes to investment, expertise and wider networks.
DIL identifies, assesses, matches and facilitates so both sides can move forward with greater confidence.
How DIL works
DIL is not only a place to read about opportunities. Its role is to connect the people, information and professional support needed around them.
Opportunity range
Property is the current live application route, not the limit. DIL supports productive opportunities at very different scales.
Homes, apartments, shops and carefully assessed property developments.
Local shops, entrepreneurs and growing companies looking for capital, knowledge or connections.
Hospitality and larger development opportunities that require deeper research and stronger partner networks.
Now accepting: first-stage applications for homes and commercial units within Alians Property from eligible diaspora applicants.
DIL Intelligence · One part of the wider DIL service
Paid reports help investors and partners understand an opportunity before a deeper conversation. DIL then adds matching, introductions and facilitation where useful.
Request a sample reportA clear overview of the project, the people behind it, its current stage and the main questions to ask.
A closer look at costs, timelines, income plans, assumptions, risks and what may happen under different conditions.
Deeper paid research for larger projects, specific sectors and organisations with more detailed questions.
Reports provide information and possible scenarios. They do not guarantee returns or replace independent professional advice.
The network behind the link
Successful facilitation depends on people who understand capital, projects and the local context. DIL brings that network together around each suitable opportunity.
Individuals, families, entrepreneurs and institutions looking for meaningful opportunities in Africa.
One point of connection that brings the opportunity, investor and relevant support together.
Beginning in Ethiopia with relationships that can support credible opportunities and lasting value.
Some relationships are still exploratory. DIL only presents a relationship as a formal partnership when it has been agreed and approved for public use.
Every useful connection starts with a conversation
