We apply a systematic and outcome-focused strategy to identify and accelerate innovation. Through our global ecosystem and custom advisory approach, we match investors with innovators to unlock the full impact potential of our multistakeholder partnerships and emerging themes.

Through our “Investing in Impact” approach, we drive investment into our partners and themes to deliver transformative impact in food, water, energy, cities and the circular economy.
