Novva Group

NOVVA is an international developer and boutique project investment bank focused on new infrastructure in emerging markets. Our business model follows “develop-build-sell”, driving professional efficiency in the new infrastructure revolution and striving to become a world-class social enterprise in this sector.

NOVVA leverages three major trends: accelerated development of new infrastructure in emerging markets, the increasing globalization of infrastructure delivery capacity, and global capital’s pursuit of stable-return investments. By connecting international capital with proven infrastructure expertise, NOVVA actively develops and invests in new infrastructure projects across emerging markets.

Headquartered in Hong Kong and registered in Singapore under an offshore legal framework, NOVVA has offices in Bogotá, Vientiane, and is currently establishing branches in Manila, Beijing, and London.

NOVVA’s current operations span Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Southern Europe, including Colombia, Peru, the Philippines, Laos, Spain, and Albania.

Vision and Mission

At NOVVA, we believe meaningful energy transition requires more than symbolic gestures - it demands rigorous execution, disciplined capital, and profound respect for natural systems. Our vision extends beyond current trends to create lasting value for future generations through sustainable stewardship of Earth's resources.

NOVVA specializes in new infrastructure development

NOVVA specializes in new infrastructure development, including renewable energy power plants, energy storage facilities, natural gas infrastructure, and offshore work vessels. These sectors align with global economic trends and national development needs, representing enduring growth industries. Projects in these areas share common characteristics: high barriers to entry, significant capital requirements, long lifecycles, and stable, efficient revenue streams. Financially, these projects generate reliable cash flows post-completion, making them low-risk credit targets for global banks. From a capital value perspective, their worth increases progressively from permitting to build to operation, allowing premium exits at various stages.

As an international developer

As an international developer, NOVVA independently or jointly develops new infrastructure projects, primarily serving as the Owner and Engineer. Our responsibilities include overall coordination, government relations, project financing, and management, while construction is outsourced to specialized EPC contractors. This model emphasizes “heavy assets, strong organization, and light operations”. NOVVA collaborates with leading EPC and infrastructure partners across Asia and Europe, leveraging regional strengths to deliver world-class quality, cost efficiency, reliable schedules, effective financing solutions, and strong on-the-ground coordination.

As a boutique project investment bank

As a boutique project investment bank, NOVVA’s unique dual role as both developer and investor, combined with our visionary and execution-driven team, enables us to identify and secure high-quality projects, design complex cooperation frameworks, raise and manage infrastructure-focused funds, structure hybrid debt and equity project financing, secure premium exits by connecting with global buyers. This makes NOVVA a trusted, world-class platform for new infrastructure investment and financing.

Company Milestones

As an international investor, NOVVA partners with industry investors to launch dual-GP industrial investment funds. Current collaborators include L&G, with Macquarie, and EDF in progress. Currently managing USD100 million, NOVVA aims to exceed USD300 million in Assets Under Management by 2025.
