About
Barkawi is an incubator and company builder. Our mission is to provide cutting-edge technology and superior services to increase the quality, efficiency and sustainability of global supply chains. Our vision is to establish deeply connected and transparent supply chain networks to maximize the circular economy of materials and products.
Barkawi Group was established in 1994 in Munich, Germany. What started as a specialized SCM consultancy 30 years ago turned into a group of innovative operating and technology companies. Our consulting entity, Barkawi Management Consultants, was acquired by Genpact (NYSE:G) in 2018 with 250 consultants and 25 years of consecutive growth. Turning ideas into ventures and building companies from scratch has been our mandate for almost three decades and continues to be our passion.
Barkawi has designed and implemented supply chain solutions for more than 500 clients in over 100 countries. We serve large multinational companies across industries and geographies. Our 1,000 supply chain professionals are nationals of 50 countries based in 15 offices in Europe, Asia, North America and South America.
In addition to funding our own start-ups and providing equity and debt in various growth and maturity stages, we support young supply chain entrepreneurs in establishing and building companies. With a focus on supply chain innovation, sustainability and growth financing, we help ambitious teams with supply chain expertise and access to an extended global supply chain ecosystem.
