Bargate Advisory is an independent research and advisory firm dedicated to unlocking economic opportunity across Africa. Since our founding in 2009, we've provided rigorous analysis and strategic guidance to companies, governments, and investors navigating complex markets in energy, mining, infrastructure, consumer goods, and agriculture. We combine deep sector expertise with rigorous economic analysis to answer the questions that matter: Where is the opportunity? What are the risks? How do we succeed?

​

Our Mission
We help clients make informed investment and strategic decisions by providing timely, high-quality analysis grounded in market fundamentals, economic modelling, and on-the-ground expertise. We translate complexity into clarity, turning market data into actionable intelligence that drives success.

​

Our Approach

We maintain a global perspective while staying deeply rooted in Africa. This unique vantage point allows us to bring international best practice to African markets while understanding the local context that shapes real outcomes. We work across sectors—recognising that opportunity often lies at the intersection of energy and consumer markets, infrastructure and industrial growth, policy and investment. Our analysis is independent, rigorous, and always driven by the facts, not the narrative.

​

Our Clients

We serve a diverse client base: multinational corporations and local enterprises, financial investors and development institutions, governments and regulatory bodies, and academic and research organisations. Whether you're evaluating market entry in a new country, assessing the viability of a major project, navigating regulatory change, or identifying emerging opportunities, we bring sector expertise and analytical rigour to every engagement.

Our Evolution​
Founded in London in 2009 as Bargate Energy, we began with a focused mission on the petroleum sector. As we worked across Africa, we recognised that economic transformation spans multiple sectors—mining, infrastructure, and increasingly, consumer markets and agriculture. In 2012, we reconstituted as Bargate Advisory, bringing together industry experts and expanding our capabilities to match the full breadth of Africa's economic opportunity. Today, we combine 15+ years of market experience with the analytical rigour needed to succeed in Africa's dynamic, rapidly evolving markets.
