At Cygnum Capital Captal, we believe that finance can be a force for positive change. Every day, we work with our clients and partners to channel capital into frontier markets—capital that supports economic growth, improves living standards and creates opportunities for individuals and businesses. Done well, this helps narrow the gap between the Global South and the Global North.
Cygnum Capital’s work is shaped by its people - past and present - and many members of our team and alumni have gone on to build impressive careers. We see this as part of a wider responsibility to help strengthen the talent and business ecosystem across Africa.
As part of that commitment, Cygnum has partnered with INSEAD—the FT’s #2 ranked global business school in 2026 (#1 in Europe)—to establish the 'Cygnum Scholarship'. The programme will support one African MBA candidate each year for the next five years, contributing to the development of the next generation of leaders across the continent.
