Driven by the inflow of disruptive projects from research labs, the EPFL Innovation Park expects to host a growing number of companies contributing to a sustainable reduction in GHG emissions. To succeed, they need a new generation of investors and funds like the Technolgy Fund, focused on the long-term positive impact.

We have several companies in our portfolio that have either received backing from or are in the process of applying to the Technology Fund. They are all grateful for this non-dilutive form of financing and are thrilled that this is an option in Switzerland. Most other European countries do not have such a flexible solution on offer.

The provision of funding to climate-tech start-ups when little other support is present is an essential role played by the Technology Fund. Enabling climate-impact startups to make their way to market is a goal we share with the Technology Fund.

I collaborate regularly with the Technology Fund, finding good crossover between our investment themes. The Technology Fund has probably the largest portfolio of sustainability companies in Switzerland. Its backing brings early credibility to companies both on investment and CO2 impact qualification.
