Initiatives for Sustainable Economic Development
Besides running and supporting educational programmes, professional projects, national and international policies, we also provide venture capital to early-stage start-ups developing environmental sustainability solutions.
In addition to capital investment, we aid the region’s innovational ecosystem and sustainable economic development with acceleration and community-building programmes.
Venture Capital Fund

It looks for companies and investment opportunities that directly or indirectly contribute to these goals. Typical areas of focus include innovative ideas and developments in the fields of green energy, climate-friendly agriculture and food use, circular economy, green transport, smart cities and water protection.
