An ecosystem built to create long-term value
Taib Group is an international business ecosystem founded by Haim Taib, built on decades of experience and more than 100 national-scale projects across Africa. It brings together independent companies across financing, investment, infrastructure, construction, services and commerce, innovation, and technology sectors connected through a shared philosophy and a common commitment to long-term value creation.
Operating across Africa, Europe, Israel, and the United States, the Group works with public and private sector partners to support sustainable growth and help strengthen countries, communities, and people over time. Together, its companies form a connected value chain designed to bring capital, capability, and long-term commitment to complex national and regional challenges.

Together, shaping a sustainable legacy
Focused momentum
sustaining growth
We provide the strategic layer that helps the ecosystem scale with focus and coherence. It connects capabilities across the value chain, supports long-term direction, and helps shape the Group’s next stage of growth through partnerships, investment priorities, expansion into new geographies, and strategic development.
The Lobito Corridor Investment and Development Platform reflects this role in action. Launched in 2025 with a $100 million initial commitment, in partnership with Angola’s Sovereign Fund, the platform, initiated by Haim Taib, is designed to mobilize up to $1 billion toward catalytic development along one of Africa’s most important emerging trade routes. By connecting capital, partners, and long-term strategic focus, the platform aims to unlock economic value, empower local communities, and accelerate regional integration.

Values that
shape the group
Excellence
A dedication to the highest standards, guided by discipline, creativity, innovation, and a constant drive to improve.
Persistence
A commitment to stay the course through complexity and time, with the patience and resolve to turn long-term vision into lasting progress.
Loving People
A belief that progress begins by respecting people’s dignity, understanding culture, and enabling them to grow, lead, and shape their future.
Generosity
A practice of creating opportunity and equipping people with the tools to build stronger lives, communities, and futures of their own.
Impact that
compounds over time
While each business contributes in different ways, the aggregate contribution helps to create lasting economic, social, and institutional value over time. That includes the scale of projects delivered, capital mobilized, access expanded, local capability strengthened, partnerships sustained, and the continuity of outcomes beyond implementation.
The aim is not only to track activity, but to understand whether what has been built continues to serve people, communities, and national priorities in durable ways.
