A partnership built on complementarity
NETIS & AMETHIS: A Strategic Alliance to Build Africa’s Future
A shared vision, a common ambition, a partnership driving sustainable infrastructure transformation across the continent . In 2023, investment fund Amethis, alongside a consortium of investors including AfricInvest, Proparco and IFC, became a majority shareholder in NETIS, a leading player in telecom and energy infrastructure in Africa. More than just a financial transaction, this move marked the beginning of a long-term strategic alliance grounded in a shared vision of responsible growth, operational excellence, and large-scale impact.
Amethis, a recognized private equity firm specializing in emerging markets, and the consortium identified in NETIS a rare profile: a structured, independent, and agile pan-African group with strong execution capabilities and deep local presence.
For NETIS, this partnership provides powerful levers to strengthen governance, accelerate expansion, enhance internal tools, and support its development in more than 16 African countries.
This alliance is rooted in a strong belief: Africa needs reliable, robust, and local solutions to succeed in its digital and energy transition.
NETIS stands out as a reference player through three complementary business lines:
🛠️ Infrastructure
We provide telecom infrastructure services, including designing, building, and maintaining telecom sites, fiber optic networks, and the corresponding equipment. Our solutions optimize network performance and productivity
⚙️ Managed Services
NETIS Group has strong operational teams in each country, utilizing in-house proven and efficient management tools for preventive and corrective maintenance of active and passive telecom tower infrastructure.
⚡ Energy
We deliver comprehensive 360° power efficiency and savings. We are specialized in customizing cost-effective and clean power solutions using our latest green and high-performance technology
Through this partnership, Amethis and the consortium support a company that drives local value creation, develops African talent, and delivers essential services in underserved regions.
For NETIS, it’s an opportunity to scale, professionalize further, and confirm its position as a leading independent pan-African infrastructure provider.
This relationship is built on strong pillars: transparency, operational rigor, and shared responsibility. It reflects a long-term strategy that benefits clients, employees, local communities, and markets across the continent.
