Zimbabwe-headquartered · seven ventures · one continent

Building the businesses Africa's next chapter is written on.

Driss Holdings develops and operates ventures in energy, commerce, advisory, tourism, healthcare, waste management, and agriculture — each built to stand on its own, and stronger for the others around it.

How we work

Built, not bought

Every venture is developed from the ground up by people who understand the sector, then given the room and capital to run independently.

Measured against the SDGs

We size an opportunity by its financial case and its development case together — neither is optional, and both get tracked.

Local first

Our teams, suppliers, and partners are drawn from the communities each venture operates in — growth stays where it's created.

The ecosystem

Seven specialised subsidiaries, each with its own leadership and mandate, working from a shared thesis: durable value comes from solving real problems well.
