The Botswana Development Corporation (BDC) operates as the government’s main investment arm in Botswana, established in 1970 as a private company and now wholly owned by the state through the Ministry of Trade and Industry. Its mandate is to provide and facilitate funding for commercially viable projects that contribute to industrialisation, economic development, and diversification, offering debt, equity, and mezzanine financing domestically, regionally, and internationally. It invests across sectors including manufacturing, services, tourism and hospitality, information technology, property and infrastructure, energy, and agriculture, while generally excluding large-scale diamond mining and certain 'sin stocks' such as tobacco and gambling.

Based in the South East region of Botswana, the organization is a mid-sized development finance institution that positions itself as an investment partner in transforming the country’s economy. Its mission is to create sustainable economic value as a strategic investor of inclusive, impactful, and productive enterprises. In 2026, BDC announced a strategic partnership with Albaddad Holding to develop the New Botswana City project, reflecting its ongoing involvement in large-scale development initiatives.
