About the SDG Investor Map
The SDG Investor Map is a market intelligence tool that aims to direct private capital to emerging markets where SDG priorities, government policy and market opportunities converge. The identified business models have high potential to advance Mauritius’ Vision 2030 through a strong private sector led economy founded on the principles of inclusivity and sustainability.
To elaborate, the SDG Investor Map seeks to:
- direct private capital to avenues where it can have the greatest positive impact on people and the planet while ensuring financial profitability.
- pinpoint Investment Opportunity Areas (IOAs) at the intersection of national development needs and policy priorities.
- provide information on priority sectors where private sector solutions can address development needs at scale.
- present evidence, data, and concrete recommendations on viable business models.
- ensure follow-up, including entry points for public-private financing dialogue platforms which promote private participation in SDG-aligned public investments.
To learn more and see how you can support such sustainable investments, explore the opportunities in Mauritius on the SDG Investor Platform.
