Throughout our 100-year history, we have grown by investing in, acquiring and building leading companies with sustainable competitive advantages
We believe in the power of local backed by global scale
We continue to back new business models to fuel our growth and increasingly, we look for opportunities to address big societal needs in markets where we see the greatest growth potential. These include all major markets in the world. Where we see a company with promise, we move quickly to expand and scale it.
We believe we are the best global growth partner for founders, startups and other investors with the ambition to scale in our markets
Our operating model is different from many other companies. We both invest in and run leading companies, and we add value at all life-stages. We create our own businesses or invest in early stage companies, we take promising models and grow them quickly to scale, we evolve and grow companies already at scale, and we hold investments in listed companies with significant upside.
Today, the Naspers group is organised into two areas: our media and internet interests in South Africa, and through Prosus, our internet interests outside of South Africa including companies and investments in the online classifieds, food delivery, payments and fintech, etail, travel, education and social and internet platforms sectors, among others.
