OUR
SPONSOR.
Highforest Capital is Tenorez's lead sponsor. Organised in 2014, Highforest is striving to reboot and disrupt the 20th century's public sector-dominated development finance market, to better meet the needs of corporations and governments. We are privately owned, source our capital through global markets, and deploy that capital using a combination of innovative debt and equity structuring and new approaches to public-private partnerships.
