Acorn & Partners

Our commitment to optimising Africa’s mineral and renewable resources is the foundation of everything we do.

Our Mission

At Acorn & Partners, we are committed to optimising Africa’s critical minerals and renewable energy resources by driving strategic, data-driven decision-making. Our work shapes regulatory and investment frameworks that attract both indigenous and foreign direct investments (FDI) while ensuring the sustainable management, conservation, and restoration of the continent’s rich mineral wealth and natural ecosystems. By harnessing these resources efficiently and ethically, we create resilient, high-value local supply chains that fuel long-term economic growth.

Harnessing Africa’s Resource Potential

At Acorn & Partners—Our commitment to optimising and driving strategic decisions in Africa’s critical minerals and renewable energy resources underpins everything we do. With 40% of the world’s critical minerals and renewable energy reserves, the continent holds the key to redefining global supply chains for the energy transition. True economic transformation, however, lies in unlocking value at every stage—spanning extraction, processing, and refining, through to trade, risk management, and sustainability.

We are your strategic partners committed to helping a broad range of stakeholders—including African nations, businesses, and international investors—to unlock the full value of their resources. Through our deep industry expertise, global network, and advanced data-driven solutions, we enable Africa to transition from a raw commodity exporter to a global powerhouse in refined products to drive economic growth, industrial development, and high-value industries.

Our Vision

Africa possesses 40% of the world’s critical minerals and renewable energy potential but has not fully capitalised on the opportunities presented by the global transition to clean energy and advanced technologies. A scarcity of diverse market intelligence and strategic insights has limited Africa’s ability to capture the benefits of the minerals boom.
At Acorn & Partners, our vision is to bridge this gap by equipping global decision-makers with world-class intelligence, expert advisory, and AI-powered analytics. Through independent consulting, in-house expertise, real-time reporting, and market-driven insights, we empower stakeholders to make informed investment decisions, build sustainable industries, and position Africa as a global leader in critical minerals and energy transformation.
