Global Africa Investments is pioneering large-scale graphene production in Brazil. Graphene, superior to steel yet light and thin, is transformative and cost-effective.
Its applications span across industries. It can boost everyday tech, enhance agribusiness infrastructure lifespan, and revolutionize the textile industry, enabling the production of ‘smart’ clothing. A collaboration between the Graphene Center at the University of Cambridge and the University of Jiangnan led to conductive cotton fabric, creating new avenues in wearable electronics.
Furthermore, graphene can aid water detoxification, improve batteries, optimize internet services, and enhance solar energy capture. A project at Shanghai University leveraged its antimicrobial properties for sustainable food packaging.
At Global Africa Investments, we’re eager to harness graphene’s vast potential, anticipating its impact across various sectors.
At Global Africa Investments, we’re committed to sustainable mining on a global scale. We maintain responsible operations across diverse geographical regions, leveraging a logistics infrastructure that supports high-quality ore extraction, rail transportation, and shipping to distribution centers.
Our portfolio includes five mines in Portugal focusing on gold, lithium, and iron. In Angola, we manage seven mines producing diamonds, gold, and rare earth minerals. We operate two diamond and rare earth mines in Mozambique and a gold mine in Brazil.
Believing in the transformational power of natural resources, we prioritize safety and environmental sustainability in all our endeavor’s. We’re particularly proud to be setting up the first largescale gold refinery in Portugal, aimed at serving European gold mines with high-tech, environmentally friendly machinery.
Through transparent dialogue, we’re devoted to leaving a positive legacy for the communities where we operate. Our commitment to sustainability spans all our operations, reflected in our robust Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) actions.

Advancing battery technologies for the future
Global Africa, with its advanced battery manufacturing facilities, is set to begin supplying the automotive industry in 2025. We are currently engaged in discussions for the establishment of two additional factories in Europe, as well as two in Angola and Mozambique, all augmenting our existing mega factory in China.
By the close of this decade, our goal is to achieve a production capacity of 50 gigawatt-hours (gwh) in Europe. This level of output would suffice to power up to one million electric cars, as per the projections of our European brand head, kai-uwe wollenhaupt.
The nascent battery industry in Europe is a burgeoning field, wollenhaupt notes. He further suggests that an accelerated development of factories is possible with the availability of more resources, both space and workforce.
Currently, global Africa is in the process of constructing a 12 gwh factory in the shanghai region of China, and we aspire to have 15 mega factories operating globally by 2025.
In terms of expectations, global Africa is poised to become an indispensable entity in manufacturing the new generation of long-life batteries. We are actively engaged in discussions with major brands in the automotive industry.
The growing demand for more power, specifically from clean and renewable sources, shapes our approach to energy-storage strategies. While lithium-ion batteries are presently at the forefront of this technology, the future promises even more potential.
Global Agro is an embodiment of agricultural excellence, boasting self-sustainable farms that operate multiple rotating productions. Our diverse range includes cereals, tubers, vegetables, fresh produce, sugarcane, soy, corn, coffee, and a variety of fruits.
