Formerly known as Baobab+, Izili marks a major milestone in its development as it celebrates its 10th anniversary. As leading Pay-As-You-Go player in off-grid energy access and digital inclusion across Africa, Izili reaffirms its mission: to make energy and technology accessible to all — even in the most remote areas.

A new name, a continued mission

Founded in 2015 within the Baobab Group, Izili was born from a strong conviction: access to energy and digital solutions are essential drivers for unlocking the potential of African households and entrepreneurs, and for fostering community development.

In April 2025, the Group entered a new phase of growth as BioLite, a renowned manufacturer of off-grid solar solutions, became its majority shareholder. This vertical integration strengthens Izili’s ability to deliver high-quality, durable, and locally adapted products at affordable prices.

10 years of innovation and impact

Active in four African countries — Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Madagascar, and Nigeria —, Izili distributes solar, digital, and productive-use solutions through fl exible fi nancing options and an extensive distribution network, including last-mile.

Alongside key partners such as MFIs (Baobab, Lapo, Nim, etc.) and Telco operators (MTN, Orange, Moov Africa, etc.), Izili has already distributed more than 700,000 products and improved the lives of more than 2.5 million people across the continent. Its solutions enable households to access reliable energy, empower entrepreneurs to grow their businesses, and contribute to a more connected, inclusive, and sustainable Africa.

“For ten years, we’ve been working to improve our customers’ daily lives. With Izili, we are reaffi rming our mission: to bring access to solar energy and digital solutions to everyone, everywhere. We are Izili. We energise lives. We connect communities.” said Kolawole Osinowo, CEO of Izili Group.
