With the HGY Series, HIMOINSA enters the high-capacity engine segment, providing tailored solutions that meet the needs of Africa's mission-critical sectors where reliable and efficient power generation is vital. The company's focus on Africa reflects its strategic commitment to supporting the continent's rapid industrialization and infrastructure expansion.
Delivering Reliable Power Where It Matters Most
Africa is home to some of the world's fastest-growing economies, yet power generation remains a critical challenge in several key regions. HIMOINSA's HGY Series engines are engineered to deliver robust and sustainable solutions, particularly in areas with unstable national grids, helping to mitigate downtime, load-shedding and other challenges. By offering flexible fuel options, currently capable of operating with a range of diesel types and HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil), with future plans to support natural gas and hydrogen, the HGY Series ensures that businesses and communities across Africa have access to low-emission, efficient, and reliable power, regardless of local grid conditions.
Guillermo Elum, HIMOINSA's EMEA Region Head, highlighted the company's dedication to the African market: “Africa is a key growth region for HIMOINSA, and our approach goes beyond merely selling products; we are committed to building local capacity. Our training programs in Angola, South Africa, Morocco, Togo and soon, in Tanzania, ensure that African technicians and engineers are fully equipped to manage and maintain our technology, creating skilled jobs and developing expertise across the continent.”
Boosting Africa's Economic Growth
The launch of the HGY Series is part of HIMOINSA's broader investment strategy to support Africa's economic development. The company's Spanish production facilities, including a new factory in Murcia with a capacity of 1,000 units currently under construction, are set to help supply the African market, ensuring fast delivery and minimal logistical challenges, so businesses can rely on timely support and services. Additionally, its focus on training and local partnerships enhances the technical skills of local communities, empowering them to manage critical power infrastructure and stimulating economic growth.
Francisco Gracia, CEO of HIMOINSA, stressed the significance of the HGY Series for Africa: “We see enormous potential in Africa's industrial and digital sectors, and the HGY Series is a powerful tool for realizing that potential. From supporting vital healthcare facilities to powering new data centers that drive digital transformation; to providing continuous power for mining projects, our solutions are designed to make a tangible impact in Africa's growth story. This launch is more than just a product introduction; it is our commitment to being a partner in Africa's progress.”
Dedicated to Sustainability in Africa
The HGY Series engines are not just about power—they are about powering Africa sustainably. Designed to work seamlessly with micro-grids and renewable energy sources, these engines offer a viable solution for rural and urban areas seeking to integrate intermittent solar and wind power into their energy mix. HIMOINSA's generators support Africa's energy transition, aligning with the continent's growing focus on renewable energy and reduced carbon emissions.
The company's presence in Africa through divisions in Angola, South Africa, Morocco, Togo, and Tanzania enables it to deliver localized support in the continent's most widely spoken languages. This commitment to on-the-ground engagement ensures that African clients receive comprehensive training and support, helping businesses reduce operational costs and improve efficiency.
Driving Innovation Across Africa's Most Critical Sectors
HIMOINSA's new HGY Series is ideally suited for sectors that drive Africa's economic growth. Data centers, which are rapidly expanding due to the rise of digital services and AI, can now benefit from high-capacity, low-emission solutions designed to minimize downtime and optimize performance. Healthcare facilities, often located in remote or underserved areas, will gain access to dependable power solutions essential for life-saving equipment. Mining operations and oil and gas fields can also leverage the versatility and efficiency of the HGY engines to operate in demanding environments, ensuring continuity even when the grid fails.

Tatiana Riera, COO of ApexBrasil, highlighted Brazil's expanding presence at Expand North Star: "From just 20 startups in 2019, we have expanded to 45 startups this year, along with four innovation hubs. Brazil is a great hub for fintech because of the diversity in social levels, so most of our unicorns come from fintech. We also focus a lot on Deep Tech, AI, and climate tech solutions since we have six biomes and need to take care of them. We have a company that uses natural foam to build soundproof material for construction and another company building silent tractors that run on renewable energy."
Similarly, Singapore's SGTech made a noteworthy debut at Expand North Star, emphasizing the importance of cross-border collaboration in driving tech-driven solutions forward.

With global participation continuing to flourish, the spotlight also turned towards Africa, where burgeoning tech ecosystems are paving the way for a new wave of entrepreneurs and innovators. H.E. Savannah Maziya, Minister, Ministry of Information, Communications & Technology, Eswatini, alongside other thought leaders, emphasised the importance of structured development to tackle unique market challenges and unlock Africa's economic potential.
Celina Lee, CEO & Co-Founder, Zindi, South Africa, highlighted the trend of talent returning to Africa to start companies and create ecosystems that foster innovation and attract global corporations like Microsoft to set up labs in Ghana and Nairobi.
Speaking on the challenges facing Africa, Olatunbosun Alake, Honorable Commissioner, Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, Lagos State Government, Nigeria, said, "The greatest challenge in Africa is education. In Nigeria, if you look at the most educated parts, they show economic value, whereas in the north, where education levels are not as high, economic productivity is lower. There needs to be an African Renaissance of education funding across the board because if you drive education, educate, and enlighten people, people will change the environment.”
Across its four-day span, Expand North Star continues to shed light on the future of industries through defining events such as GITEX Impact, Fintech Surge, Future Blockchain Summit, and Marketing Mania. These events underscore how emerging technologies are transforming the way we live and are also playing a pivotal role in reshaping the future.

The African Development Bank (www.AfDB.org) and Absa Group, one of Africa's leading financial services providers, today celebrated a landmark agreement to mark the execution of a transformative financial package aimed at increasing funding for underserved segments, across South Africa and the continent. The target audience includes women-owned businesses, youth entrepreneurs, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
In addition to enhancing Absa's regulatory capital, the facility will promote access to finance, deepen domestic capital markets, and ensure continued access to global supply chains for issuing banks in regional member countries, including low-income and fragile states.
The financial package includes:
Several components of the package have already been executed, including the successful issuance of Absa's first Tier 2 social bond on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in July 2024. The R1 billion proceeds from this bond will be allocated towards affordable housing loans specifically targeting women, empowering them as first-time homeowners in low-income segments.
Leila Mokaddem, Director General of the African Development Bank's Southern Africa Region, stated: “This partnership with Absa Group underscores our commitment to driving sustainable and inclusive economic growth across Africa. Through this financial package, we are not only fortifying Absa's capital base but also ensuring that essential funding reaches women, youth, and entrepreneurs, fostering a more equitable and prosperous continent. This collaboration aligns seamlessly with our strategic priorities of supporting Africa's industrialization and enhancing the quality of life for its people. “
Absa has secured a R1.7 billion sustainability-linked Tier 2 loan aimed at general corporate business purposes while incentivizing the extension of finance products to women-owned SMEs as a key performance indicator. As part of this agreement, Absa is collaborating with the African Development Bank to enhance skills among both Absa staff and women business owners. A capacity-building training program has been launched to address the unique challenges faced by female and youth entrepreneurs, by providing mentorship and financial solutions.
Charles Russon, Absa Group interim CEO designate remarked: “The finalisation of this package concludes a three-year process that significantly enhances our capacity to fund social initiatives aligned with our commitment to being a force for good. This partnership enables us to increase funding for women and youth in South Africa while facilitating greater trade opportunities across the continent. “
“This partnership aligns with the African Development Bank's strategic objectives of advancing green, social, and sustainability instruments in the domestic capital markets, supporting African capital market development and regional financial integration,” said Ahmed Attout, Director of the Financial Sector Development Department at the African Development Bank. He emphasised that it is designed to empower Absa to effectively disburse funds for highly impactful social and sustainable economic development initiatives.
The $150 million trade finance facility will drive trade support across Africa, addressing the continent's annual trade finance gap of over $100 billion. This initiative will enhance access to financing for key sectors such as agriculture, transport, and manufacturing, while fostering financial sector development and regional integration.
