Gorilla Research And Investments is an African investment and management consultancy specialising in scalable, technology-driven infrastructure projects designed to address critical gaps in energy access and sustainable urban development across the continent. By applying Lean Six Sigma principles, we optimize project delivery, eliminate operational waste, and ensure cost efficiency without compromising quality, while integrating an advanced software stack for precision execution and cost reduction.
Dual Ethos: Our name represents a dual philosophy. The gorilla—specifically the silverback—epitomises strategic intelligence, resilience, and natural leadership, mirroring our ambition to be a leading and responsible force in Africa’s infrastructure evolution. Simultaneously, the nod to guerrilla strategy underscores our agile, resourceful approach—one that challenges traditional models through innovation, local empowerment, and sharp execution, enabling us to outperform expectations.
Sustainable Development Focus: Strategically aligned with global and continental development frameworks—including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 9 (Industry, Innovation, Infrastructure) and 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), as well as the African Union’s Agenda 2063 pillars of inclusive growth and sustainable development—we prioritise high-impact projects such as renewable energy grids and high-quality, accessible housing developments. These initiatives are designed to enhance community resilience, foster economic opportunity, and bridge the gap between affordability and modern living standards.
Transformative Approach: At Gorilla Research And Investments we operate at the intersection of ambition and pragmatism, transforming infrastructure challenges into opportunities for inclusive, long-term prosperity. Through forward-looking leadership, innovative thinking, and a steadfast dedication to Africa’s strategic growth, we aim not only to participate in the continent’s development but to redefine its future.
