STOA is an impact fund created in 2017 by the Caisse des Dépôts and the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) to finance infrastructure in emerging and developing countries.

Deeply committed to promoting a shared DNA, this joint venture focuses on the promotion of ecological, digital, territorial and societal transitions through development finance and public interest missions.

STOA draws on the experience of its peers, benefitting from both the investment expertise of the Caisse des Dépôts and the AFD’s strong international presence.

The name STOA evokes the porticos of Ancient Greece, meeting places providing protection from the elements. It was chosen to reflect both the stability of our shareholders and the strength of our entrepreneurial spirit.
