Since Meridiam’s inception, our mission has always been to invest in and develop sustainable infrastructure that improves the quality of people’s lives.

“Our goal is to be a champion of sustainability. We stand for people and the planet – for today’s world, tomorrow’s progress and the good of future generations.” says Thierry Déau, Founding partner, Chief Executive Officer of Meridiam.
In 2021, we’ve invested 3 billion dollars in our three core sectors and created 10 000 direct and indirect jobs:
Essential public services, especially digital: Raxio data centres in Africa, fibre in Europe (Austria, Romania) and in Canada
Sustainable mobility: Setrag in Africa (Gabon’s main railway line, which links Franceville (the country’s third largest city) to Libreville (the capital) and to the port of Owendo over a distance of approximately 650 km), and the deployment of Allego in Europe, particularly in France in partnership with Carrefour
Low-carbon solutions: the world’s largest hydrogen power plant in Guyana, the biomass power plant in West Africa, Fresno University in California
Assets under management increased to $18 billion (€15 billion), approximately double vs. 2019.
