Who We Are
Gideon Technical Laboratories (GTL) is a U.S.-anchored infrastructure and technology platform focused on energy and water assets in Africa and North America.
We are first and foremost a technology company. Our work begins in the laboratory — where applied science is transformed into solutions — and extends to the field, where those solutions become infrastructure. GTL unites innovation, structured finance, and disciplined execution in one integrated model.
This allows us to deliver projects that are both visionary and bankable, designed not for the moment but to endure for the next generation.
Our Philosophy
We see the world as a living laboratory. For us, infrastructure is not a commodity, but a symbiosis of technology, environment, and people. Each project is designed as a system, balancing innovation with community needs and ecological responsibility.
This philosophy drives us to design projects with a 20–50 year lifespan, ensuring long-term value creation. By aligning technology with purpose, GTL builds platforms that do more than generate power or treat water — they transform ecosystems and societies.
Our Model
What sets GTL apart is a triangular model that combines origination, finance, and execution into one platform:
- Origination – GTL secures concessions, permits, and partnerships, grounding projects in local realities.
- Finance – Afriterra International, Trussfin, and institutional co-investors provide USD 500 million already committed to Africa, ensuring immediate execution certainty.
- Execution – A Global Tier-One EPC Partner, with 170+ years of heritage and USD 9B+ in annual revenues, guarantees delivery with OEM-backed warranties and full lifecycle O&M.
This structure de-risks projects, accelerates timelines, and ensures bankability for governments, lenders, and investors.
Our Distinction
Unlike traditional developers, GTL begins with technology at the core.
Our innovations include patented pyrolysis systems that transform waste into energy, next-generation batteries that are safer and more efficient, industrial-scale water treatment and sterilization systems, and advanced cryogenic and COâ‚‚ sequestration technologies.
These breakthroughs, developed in collaboration with NASA, the U.S. Department of Energy, and 17 National Laboratories, ensure that GTL remains at the frontier of applied science.
By embedding these technologies into our projects, we create infrastructure that is not only sustainable but also future-proof, capable of meeting global decarbonization and resilience goals.
Our Partners
GTL is defined by the strength of its partnerships. Together, they bring science, finance, and execution into one platform:
- Afriterra International – GTL’s financial sponsor, structuring projects and mobilizing capital.
- Truss Financial & Institutional Investors – reinforcing GTL’s capital base with USD 500 million dedicated exclusively to Africa.
- Global Tier-One EPC Partner – an international engineering group with 170+ years of heritage and USD 9B+ annual revenues, delivering projects to world-class standards.
- NASA, U.S. DOE, and 17 National Laboratories – active collaborations advancing GTL’s pipeline in renewable energy, advanced materials, and water solutions.
These alliances ensure GTL projects are innovative, bankable, and delivered with global credibility.
Our Experience
Our work reflects both innovation and execution capability:
- Consulting services for U.S. and foreign governments.
- Maritime water quality programs across West Africa.
- High-containment laboratories for infectious disease in the U.S. and Southeast Asia.
- Industrial and energy projects in North America and West Africa exceeding USD 2B.
Our Commitment
We operate in alignment with IFC ESG Standards (PS 1–8), governed by independent Audit, Risk, and ESG Committees.
With Big-4 audit alignment and compliance frameworks (AML/KYC, sanctions, whistleblowing), we ensure transparency and accountability.
Per 100 MW deployed: ~1,200 jobs created, 200,000 tons CO₂ avoided, and 40–50% of O&M spend directed to SMEs.
Our Purpose
At GTL, technology is our essence.
But it is our ability to combine innovation, finance, partnerships, and execution discipline that transforms science into infrastructure that endures.
We create the formulas. We build the technology. We deliver the sustainability — one project at a time
