Advantage Partners Japan Hydrogen Fund is a thematic infrastructure investment vehicle focused exclusively on the development and scaling of the hydrogen economy in Japan, co-launched in November 2023 by Advantage Partners—one of Japan's longest-established private equity and infrastructure managers—alongside the Japan Hydrogen Association (JH2A) and Sumitomo Mitsui DS Asset Management. The fund targets a final close of $1 billion, having secured capital commitments of approximately $430 million at its second close in December 2024. The fund's mandate encompasses the full hydrogen value chain: production (green, blue, and low-carbon hydrogen via electrolysis and reforming with carbon capture and storage), storage, transportation, and end-use applications across Japan's hard-to-abate industrial sectors including steel, chemicals, shipping, and heavy transport. Japan's national hydrogen strategy and its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 provide a strong policy tailwind, with the government pledging JPY 15 trillion in public and private investment over 15 years to establish hydrogen as a cornerstone of its energy transition. Advantage Partners brings to the fund its 30-year track record of mid-market private equity and infrastructure deal execution in Japan, combined with JH2A's network of corporate sponsors and technology partners across the hydrogen sector. Tokyo Century Corporation is among the strategic anchor investors, reinforcing the fund's industrial-partnership-driven investment model. The fund is positioned as a leading institutional vehicle for international investors seeking exposure to Japan's accelerating decarbonization agenda.

Alantra Klima Energy Fund II (Klima2) is a growth-stage energy transition fund managed by Alantra, the Madrid-based international investment bank and alternative asset manager. Classified as an SFDR Article 9 fund—the highest sustainable finance classification under EU regulations—Klima2 deploys equity tickets of €10 million to €30 million into established European businesses with proven technologies and measurable positive environmental outcomes, targeting a portfolio of approximately twelve companies across the continent. The European Investment Fund (EIF) committed €70 million to the vehicle in late 2025, providing significant institutional validation for the fund's strategy. The fund's investment mandate spans five critical pillars of Europe's energy transition: clean energy generation and storage, energy markets and trading platforms, grid and storage infrastructure, energy efficiency technologies, and sustainable transport. Klima2 targets businesses where technological de-risking has already occurred—portfolio candidates have demonstrated product-market fit, recurring revenues and strong growth potential—and where growth capital is needed to scale commercially across European markets. Portfolio companies receive board representation, commercial partner introductions and follow-on capacity throughout the fund's life. Klima2 builds on the strong track record of its predecessor, the original Klima Energy Transition Fund, which raised €210 million and backed growth-stage companies including Dexter Energy (€23 million Series C led by Klima) and marine electrification company Echandia (€19.6 million). Alantra's energy transition platform combines sector expertise with a pan-European deal-sourcing network, aiming to generate both financial returns and verifiable carbon reduction outcomes aligned with the EU's net-zero targets.

Alantra Solar is a solar infrastructure investment platform managed by Alantra, a global alternative asset manager and investment bank headquartered in Madrid, Spain. Launched in January 2023 in partnership with Spanish solar developer Solarig, it operates through the investment vehicle N-Sun Energy S.L. The platform is focused on Southern Europe — primarily Italy (approximately two-thirds of assets) and Spain (approximately one-third) — targeting the 30 GW+ photovoltaic capacity markets in both countries. The fund is structured as a sustainable investment platform compliant with EU Taxonomy Regulation ESG criteria. The fund's strategy involves acquiring, financing, constructing, and managing utility-scale photovoltaic plants developed by Solarig across Italy and Spain.

Once fully operational, the portfolio is expected to generate nearly 2.7 GWh of renewable energy annually — equivalent to the consumption of over 800,000 households — and deliver more than EUR 180 million in annual revenues. The fund is led by three managing partners: Javier Mellado (strategy and investor relations), Carmelo Medrano (COO), and Peer Piske (CFO), who together have deployed over EUR 600 million and developed 3+ GW across Europe and the US. As of late 2025, Alantra Solar had secured multiple rounds of project financing. Key milestones include: a January 2023 launch with co-investor commitments of up to EUR 265 million from Reichmuth Infrastructure (Switzerland) and Amundi Energy Transition (France); a February 2024 EUR 50 million equity commitment from Banca March; a December 2024 EUR 213 million debt financing from a syndicate led by Rabobank for seven plants totaling 306 MWp; a November 2025 EUR 355 million project financing from Intesa Sanpaolo for five Italian plants (~275 MW); and a EUR 228 million financing from Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group for six plants in Spain and Italy.

The Emerging Market Climate Action Fund (EMCAF) is an innovative blended finance Fund of Funds co-created by Allianz Global Investors (AllianzGI) and the European Investment Bank (EIB), launched in 2022 and endorsed by the G7. AllianzGI acts as the fund's investment manager while the EIB serves as investment advisor, combining private asset management expertise with the EIB's development finance mandate and institutional credibility. EMCAF was established with the explicit mission of mobilizing private institutional capital toward climate mitigation and adaptation projects in emerging and developing markets — a segment of the global economy where the estimated climate finance gap runs into the trillions of euros annually. EMCAF operates as a blended finance vehicle, deploying capital into sub-funds and project-level investments focused on renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable transport, forestry, water and wastewater management, and the circular economy across Asia Pacific, Africa, and Latin America. The fund's structure uses junior tranches from development finance institutions and public sector entities — including the Nordic Development Fund, KfW, and the Luxembourg Ministry of the Environment — to de-risk senior tranches offered to commercial institutional investors such as Allianz and Folksam. This blended capital structure enables EMCAF to target returns acceptable to institutional investors while channeling capital toward impact-first projects that would otherwise be unfinanceable on purely commercial terms. EMCAF targets total mobilization of up to EUR 10 billion in aggregate climate finance and aims to catalyze approximately 9 to 10 gigawatts of clean energy capacity across its portfolio sub-funds. The fund received BaFin regulatory approval and operates under EIB Environmental and Social standards, providing institutional investors with a regulated, standards-compliant vehicle for emerging market climate exposure. EMCAF represents one of the largest blended finance initiatives focused on climate action in developing economies, aligned with Paris Agreement climate finance mobilization commitments.

Altor ACT I is the first dedicated green transition fund raised by Altor Equity Partners, the leading Nordic-based private equity firm with over EUR 8 billion in assets under management. The fund closed in September 2024 at its hard cap of EUR 1.1 billion, having been significantly oversubscribed following a rapid fundraise from a high-quality institutional investor base including pension funds, insurance companies, asset managers, sovereign wealth funds, and foundations from the United States, Europe, and Asia. Monument Group served as exclusive placement agent for the fund. ACT I is structured as an SFDR Article 9 fund — the European Union's highest sustainability classification — and deploys capital exclusively into investments that leverage Altor's 20-year expertise in Nordic and DACH mid-market companies with direct green transition themes or that benefit materially from the structural tailwinds of the low-carbon economy transition. Core sectors of focus include industrial technologies enabling decarbonisation, business and environmental services, and companies producing or distributing solutions in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and clean infrastructure. The fund targets mid-market businesses in the EUR 100–500 million enterprise value range across the Nordic region and the DACH economies (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Altor ACT I draws on the same team and investment process that has built Altor into one of the most respected PE managers in Northern Europe across six flagship funds (Altor Fund I through Fund VI, the latter closing at EUR 3 billion in December 2023). While the ACT I strategy is sustainability-focused, it targets the same highly attractive absolute returns as Altor's flagship funds, investing in proven technologies and market leaders rather than early-stage or speculative green ventures. Both existing Altor Fund VI investors and new institutional investors committed to sustainable PE strategies participated in the ACT I raise, reflecting the fund's appeal across the firm's established LP network.

Altor Equity Partners completed the final close of Altor Fund VI on 19 January 2024, raising EUR 3.0 billion at its hard cap — breaking the firm's own fundraising record set by Fund V. The fund is structured under Swedish AIFMD regulation and classified as an Article 8 fund under SFDR, reflecting Altor's commitment to investing in companies that promote environmental or social characteristics as part of its value-creation approach. At the time of the final close, more than one-third of committed capital had already been deployed across seven portfolio investments, demonstrating exceptional pipeline momentum from the outset of fundraising. Altor Fund VI targets mid-market companies headquartered in the Nordic region — Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway — and the DACH countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), consistent with the firm's two-decade investment franchise. The strategy focuses on businesses in business services, consumer products, industrials, and technology sectors, with particular attention to investments aligned with the green transition and environmental sustainability themes. Altor employs a disciplined operational and growth value-creation playbook: the firm's portfolio companies achieved 16% EBITA growth during 2023 and 60% aggregate value growth since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, illustrating the efficacy of the approach even through disruption. The fund's realized portfolio track record stands at a gross IRR of 29% and a 3.0x money-on-invested-capital multiple across Altor's prior vehicles. Altor Fund VI has since made additional investments including Imbox Protection in September 2025, continuing the firm's focus on technology-enabled, sustainability-aligned businesses across northern Europe and German-speaking markets. With EUR 3 billion in committed capital, Fund VI represents Altor's largest vehicle to date and positions the firm as one of the pre-eminent Nordic mid-market private equity managers.

The Altree Kadzi Gender Climate Fund (AKGCF) is an impact-focused blended finance vehicle managed by Altree Capital, targeting early- to growth-stage companies in Sub-Saharan Africa that advance gender equality, women's empowerment, and climate adaptation and mitigation. Established by Altree Capital — an investment manager founded in 2006 by Jenni Chamberlain with a long-standing commitment to driving international capital into Africa — the fund represents one of the continent's few vehicles explicitly combining gender-lens investing with a climate-smart mandate across a single portfolio. The AKGCF targets a raise of between USD 50 million and USD 80 million, deploying capital through a mix of equity, debt, mezzanine, convertible notes, and revenue-based financing. This multi-instrument approach is designed to de-risk investments across the capital structure and reach companies too mature for traditional venture capital but too early for conventional private equity. At least 60 percent of the portfolio is directed at businesses addressing climate adaptation and mitigation, while 40 percent focuses on women's health. Every investment must qualify for at least three of the 2X Criteria for gender-lens investing, ensuring a rigorous, measurable approach to gender impact across the portfolio. Key portfolio companies include Wahu! Mobility, an electric vehicle venture operating in Ghana and Togo, and Kasha, an e-commerce platform focused on women's health and personal care. Altree Capital maintains offices in Bermuda, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Kenya, providing hands-on investor support across the regions where the fund operates. The AKGCF has received backing from the Climate Gender Equity Fund (CGEF) and support from the Visa Africa Women's Investment Fund (AWIF), validating the fund's blended finance approach and commitment to gender and climate impact in emerging markets.

Environmental Infrastructure & ServicesIndustrialsMaterials, Chemicals & Natural Resources+1

Ambienta SGR, the Milan-based private equity firm dedicated exclusively to environmental sustainability, closed its fourth private equity fund on 20 July 2022 at its EUR 1.55 billion hard cap. The fund reached capacity in less than six months of active marketing and is the largest European private equity fund ever raised with a sole focus on companies enabling positive environmental change. Existing limited partners re-upped at more than 100% of their prior fund commitments, a powerful testament to the firm's track record and to growing institutional appetite for dedicated environmental strategies. The fund's LP base spans approximately 55% from EU member states, 20% from other European countries, and the remainder from North America, South America, and Asia. Ambienta IV targets European mid-market companies — its so-called 'environmental champions' — that derive competitive advantage from the structural megatrends of resource efficiency and pollution control. The fund deploys capital into buyouts across industrials, specialty chemicals, materials, energy transition, and environmental services, applying Ambienta's proprietary Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) methodology to quantify each portfolio company's contribution to reducing pollution or improving resource efficiency. Ambienta IV is classified as an Article 9 fund under SFDR, the highest sustainable finance classification available under European regulations, reflecting the fund's dual commitment to financial returns and measurable positive environmental impact. Ambienta SGR oversees approximately EUR 2 billion in total assets under management across multiple vehicles, including private equity, small-cap, and public market funds. Fund IV represents the latest chapter in the firm's 20-year history of backing European environmental leaders and builds directly on the investment thesis and portfolio construction approach established in prior funds. The fund is domiciled in Luxembourg and managed by Ambienta SGR S.p.A. under full Italian AIFMD authorisation from Banca d'Italia.

Ambienta SGR, the Milan-based private equity firm dedicated to environmental sustainability, completed the final close of its inaugural small-cap strategy in June 2025, raising EUR 500 million and surpassing its original EUR 450 million target. The Ambienta Small Cap Strategy invests in European small-cap companies that qualify as environmental sustainability champions — businesses with revenues up to EUR 150 million and enterprise values in the EUR 50 million to EUR 100 million range that derive competitive advantage from resource efficiency or pollution control megatrends. The strategy targets eight to ten portfolio companies per vintage, enabling a concentrated, hands-on approach consistent with Ambienta's founder-led investment culture. The strategy represents Ambienta's deliberate return to the smaller end of the market, where the firm made many of its formative investments nearly two decades ago. Many of the businesses that formed the early backbone of Ambienta's investment approach were founder-led, high-quality small-cap industrials and environmental services companies — the same profile the small-cap strategy now explicitly targets. The dedicated investment team is headed by Partner Francesco Lodrini alongside newly appointed Partners Yann Bak and Giacomo Forti, based across Ambienta's Milan and Paris offices. Each portfolio company is assessed and monitored using Ambienta's two proprietary tools: the Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) framework, which quantifies the company's contribution to reducing environmental externalities, and the ESG in Action programme, which drives operational sustainability improvements throughout the holding period. The Ambienta Small Cap Strategy sits alongside Ambienta IV (EUR 1.55 billion, 2022 vintage) and the firm's public-markets vehicles as part of a multi-product environmental asset management platform. The strong investor demand — exceeding the EUR 450 million target — validates Ambienta's thesis that the small-cap segment offers significant untapped opportunity for sustainability-driven value creation in European private equity.

Averrhoa Nature-Based Solutions Fund is an Article 9 impact investment vehicle managed by Ardian, one of Europe's leading private investment houses, in strategic partnership with aDryada, a specialist developer of large-scale nature-based projects. Launched in September 2023, the fund represents a pioneering approach to institutional impact investing through the restoration and conservation of natural ecosystems in emerging and developing economies. The fund is classified under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) as an Article 9 product, meaning it pursues a specific, measurable sustainability objective as its primary investment mandate rather than as a secondary consideration. The fund finances large-scale projects to restore forests, wetlands, and mangroves with the dual objective of sequestering carbon from the atmosphere and generating high-quality carbon credits verified by independent third-party experts. The strategy targets projects collectively expected to sequester approximately 150 million tonnes of carbon, while enhancing biodiversity and delivering socio-economic benefits for local communities. Geographic focus is on emerging markets and developing economies across Latin America, Africa, and Asia Pacific, where nature-based solutions offer the greatest ecological additionality. The fund aims to deploy approximately 1.5 billion euros in projects and capital worldwide, blending institutional capital with development finance institution (DFI) support to achieve both measurable climate impact and financial return for investors. The fund completed its first close at 100 million euros with cornerstone commitments from development finance institutions including the European Investment Bank (EIB), Proparco, and British International Investment (BII), providing early validation of the strategy from leading global DFIs. Ardian's broader natural capital and infrastructure expertise underpins the fund's ability to source, structure, and manage complex nature-based solutions across multiple jurisdictions, positioning Averrhoa as a flagship vehicle for institutional investors seeking exposure to the rapidly growing voluntary carbon market alongside verifiable biodiversity and social impact metrics.

The Canadian Climate and Nature Fund for the Private Sector in Asia (CANPA) is a CAD 360 million government-sponsored impact investment facility established in 2024 through a partnership between the Government of Canada and the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Canada contributes CAD 350 million in project investment capital and CAD 10 million for technical assistance, with ADB administering the fund on Canada's behalf across Asia and the Pacific. CANPA represents Canada's flagship vehicle for mobilising private sector capital in climate-positive and nature-based solutions across developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region, with a particular emphasis on small island developing states and gender equity integration. CANPA targets private-sector projects that would be unlikely to proceed on purely commercial terms, deploying concessional or blended finance to de-risk viable climate and nature investments and catalyse additional institutional capital. Eligible transactions span renewable energy, clean infrastructure, nature-based solutions, sustainable land use, and climate resilience projects. The fund aims to help private sector companies reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition away from carbon-intensive operations, and build physical climate resilience. A cross-cutting gender equity objective requires CANPA-supported projects to empower women and girls through meaningful participation and economic inclusion in climate transition activities across Asia and the Pacific. CANPA was formally launched and announced in June 2024, succeeding earlier Canadian climate financing vehicles at ADB, including the Canadian Climate Fund for the Private Sector in Asia II. ADB brings its established network of private sector counterparties, co-investors, and development finance institutions across Asia to originate and structure qualifying transactions. Canada's track record through predecessor ADB-managed vehicles includes projects spanning renewable energy, clean transport, and sustainable agriculture, providing a foundation for CANPA's expanded scope to include nature-based and biodiversity finance alongside traditional clean energy and climate infrastructure investment.

The Climate Tech Fund is a venture capital initiative managed by BDC Capital, the investment arm of the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), a federal Crown corporation wholly owned by the Government of Canada. The fund was established to address the chronic shortage of late-stage risk capital for the commercialization and scale-up of Canadian climate technology companies, representing a core commitment of the federal government's strategy to build a globally competitive cleantech sector and accelerate Canada's transition to a low-carbon economy. With 500 million Canadian dollars in committed capital, the Climate Tech Fund became one of the largest dedicated cleantech venture vehicles in Canada at the time of its launch. The fund deploys capital into hard technology companies with capital-intensive business models, defensible proprietary intellectual property, and demonstrated market traction. Key investment themes include energy decarbonization, sustainable mobility, the built environment, industrial and resource efficiency, and carbon management. The fund targets companies at the late-stage seed to growth stage of development, requiring validated product-market fit and a clear path to commercial scale and profitability within a defined timeline. BDC Capital's investment model functions as a catalytic public capital instrument: for each dollar of BDC investment deployed from Climate Tech Fund I, the fund unlocked approximately 12 Canadian dollars in co-investment from private sector partners, demonstrating strong institutional demand for Canadian cleantech growth capital. The Climate Tech Fund has built a diversified portfolio of climate technology companies including alterBiota, Ayrton Energy, CabriCrete, Carbon Upcycling, CarbonRun, CO280, Cyclic Materials, Deep Sky, DeNova, Exterra, Freshr Technologies, and Future Fields, spanning clean energy, advanced materials, carbon capture, and sustainable agriculture.

BONVENTURE IV invests in early and growth-stage companies with social or ecological business models, requiring each portfolio company to make a measurable, verifiable contribution to solving systemic social or environmental problems. The fund pursues dual returns of impact and financial performance, rejecting the traditional narrative of a trade-off between impact depth and investment return. Target sectors include social care and childcare solutions, sustainable energy and building technology, environmental services, digital health, and e-mobility infrastructure. Geographic focus is on the German-speaking region of Central Europe, including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with selective investments across broader Western Europe where the impact thesis is compelling. BONVENTURE IV surpassed its fundraising target range of 35 to 40 million euros, closing at 50 million euros from a combined base of institutional and private investors.

Cactus Partners Fund I is the debut venture capital fund of Cactus Venture Partners (CVP), a Mumbai-based investor focused on early-stage companies in India. The fund reached final close in February 2024 with a corpus of approximately Rs 630 crore (approximately $75 million), following an initial closing in August 2022 that raised roughly Rs 350 crore ($44 million). Cactus Venture Partners positions itself as a long-term institutional partner for founders building transformative businesses across India's fastest-growing technology sectors. The fund targets Series A and early Series B investments, with a primary sector focus on climate technology, healthcare technology, and B2B SaaS. This thesis reflects CVP's conviction that India's next wave of breakout companies will emerge at the intersection of deep technology and India-specific market needs—whether in sustainable agriculture, digital health infrastructure, or enterprise software built natively for emerging-market conditions. The fund's investor base reflects broad conviction in this thesis: approximately 60% of capital committed by domestic limited partners—including SIDBI (Small Industries Development Bank of India), the Self-Reliant India Fund (SRI Fund), and the UP Startup Fund—with the remaining 40% from international LPs predominantly from the United States, Singapore, the European Union, and the United Kingdom, as well as domestic family offices and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNIs). Cactus Partners Fund I marked Cactus Venture Partners' entry as an institutionalized early-stage investor in the Indian venture ecosystem. The successful two-stage fundraise—completed in a challenging global venture market—validated the fund's sector thesis and its ability to attract a diversified domestic and international LP base. The fund's portfolio spans climate technology, health technology, and B2B enterprise solutions, setting the foundation for CVP's continued growth as a trusted capital partner for Indian founders at the inflection point between product-market fit and full-scale growth.

Cantos Ventures III

Cantos Ventures III is a 0 million early-stage venture capital fund managed by Cantos Ventures, a San Francisco-based firm founded by Ian Rountree. The fund closed in September 2022 and targets pre-seed and seed stage investments in what Cantos calls "near-frontier technology" — science-forward companies applying proven advances to solve critical global challenges. Cantos Ventures has built a reputation for backing technically ambitious founders from the earliest stages of company formation, operating at the intersection of deep science, critical infrastructure, and commercial viability. This is the firm's third fund, following two earlier vintages that delivered strong returns. Cantos Ventures III deploys capital across four primary verticals: climate technology and sustainable infrastructure, TechBio (synthetic biology, therapeutics, and biomanufacturing), aerospace and defense, and next-generation computing including quantum and biocomputing systems. The fund deliberately focuses on areas where technical risk is high but market risk is structurally low — companies whose success depends on solving hard engineering and science problems rather than predicting market adoption. By partnering with founders from pre-seed, Cantos aims to back category-defining businesses building platform technologies or full-stack solutions that could generate 0 to 00 billion in enterprise value. The strategy seeks to minimize market risk by targeting companies making essential commodities cheaper, reducing carbon emissions, advancing healthcare, or improving democratic security capabilities. Cantos Ventures III has made six investments since its September 2022 close, including The Lumber Manufactory (May 2024), applying advanced manufacturing to sustainable materials. Earlier Cantos funds have backed a portfolio of more than 50 companies spanning climate, life sciences, defense, aerospace, and materials science. The manager's thesis of backing founders working at the frontier of science and engineering has proven well-timed as institutional and government capital increasingly focuses on domestic manufacturing resilience, clean energy transition, and next-generation defense technology. Cantos Ventures has raised three consecutive funds, demonstrating repeatable fundraising success in a highly competitive early-stage landscape.

The fund is operated through a dedicated Australian subsidiary, Cibus Carbon Investments Pty Ltd, led by Damon Petrie (Consultant Investment Director), Jeremy Alun-Jones (COO), Simon Campbell (Consultant CEO), and Grant Tranter (Consultant Chief Scientist). Cibus Capital has raised over USD 1 billion across its fund platform — which includes Cibus Fund (mid-market PE and real asset farming), Cibus Enterprise (agri-food tech venture capital), and Cibus Carbon — and won two awards at the 2024 ESG Investing Awards, including ESG Investment Fund of the Year. Cibus Carbon targets institutional investors and seeks to raise between A$200 million and A$300 million (approximately USD 132–198 million), with a target of A$70–100 million by end of 2025 and up to A$300 million by end of 2026. The fund's strategy is to plant mixed native tree species on carefully selected low-cost Australian land parcels identified through proprietary geospatial and agronomic models that maximise carbon yield relative to acquisition cost. Over a 30-year investment horizon, the fund aims to deliver approximately 11.25 million Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs), targeting corporate buyers subject to Australia's Safeguard Mechanism. Net ACCU demand is projected to nearly triple from 15 million units in 2025 to 44 million by 2030, a market Cibus expects to become the world's largest carbon credit system by end of the decade.

Copenhagen Infrastructure Growth Markets Fund II (CI GMF II, SCSp) is a Luxembourg-domiciled infrastructure fund managed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), the world's leading dedicated fund manager for greenfield renewable energy investments. Launched at COP28 in Dubai on December 4, 2023, CI GMF II targets USD 3 billion in commitments and succeeds CI Growth Markets Fund I, which reached a final close of USD 1 billion in November 2019. CIP was founded in Copenhagen in 2012 and manages approximately EUR 26 billion across 12 infrastructure funds for more than 150 institutional investors, employing around 400 professionals across 12 global offices. CI GMF II deploys equity in large-scale, complex greenfield energy infrastructure projects across 15 selected high-growth, middle-income markets in Asia, Latin America, and EMEA — including India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Mexico, and South Africa. The fund targets five technology types: offshore wind, onshore wind, solar PV, utility-scale battery storage, and Power-to-X. Each investment requires meaningful European supply chain and industrial participation, positioning CI GMF II at the intersection of institutional infrastructure investment and the EU's Global Gateway development-finance initiative. In June 2024, the European Investment Bank committed USD 100 million (EUR 93 million) to the fund, recognising its alignment with EU development objectives and bilateral clean-energy partnerships in the target geographies. CIP's predecessor fund, Growth Markets Fund I, deployed a build-and-exit strategy that produced projects including a 1.7 GW solar-hybrid complex in India (Unicus) and renewable assets in South Africa (Mulilo), demonstrating the manager's ability to originate, develop, and exit large-scale clean energy infrastructure in emerging markets. CI GMF II's project pipeline already represents more than USD 5 billion in potential committed capital, significantly exceeding the fund's USD 3 billion target and reflecting the depth of the development pipeline CIP has cultivated across Asia, Latin America, and Africa over its first decade.

Elevate Capital Commercialization Gap Fund 1 is an early-stage venture capital fund managed by Elevate Capital, Oregon's first inclusive venture fund, in partnership with Business Oregon and the Oregon Innovation Council. Launched in 2020 with $2.5 million in capital provided by the State of Oregon, the fund was designed to bridge the "valley of death" — the critical funding gap separating early scientific research from initial commercialization — a stage chronically underserved by traditional venture capital given the technology risk, long development timelines, and small check-size requirements. The fund deploys check sizes ranging from $50,000 to $250,000 per investment, targeting Oregon-based startups operating at the earliest stage of science-to-product translation. Priority sectors include life sciences and biotechnology, cleantech and sustainable resources, advanced manufacturing, and consumer health.

Over a 12-month deployment period, the fund made 15 investments totaling approximately $1.75 million in disbursed capital. Portfolio companies subsequently raised more than $4 million in follow-on private investment and $4.5 million in additional grant funding, demonstrating a leverage ratio well above 3x on the original state investment. The Commercialization Gap Fund 1 established the foundational template for Oregon's CGF programme and validated Elevate Capital as the preferred manager for deep-tech commercialization investing.

The Elevate Innovation Gap Fund is an early-stage venture capital programme managed by Elevate Capital, an inclusive venture capital firm headquartered in Portland, Oregon, and the first institutional-scale VC fund in the United States focused primarily on investing in underrepresented and underestimated founders. The programme was established to fill a critical capital gap in Oregon's startup ecosystem — providing early-stage funding to research-intensive and science-driven ventures that lack access to mainstream venture capital due to geography, founder background, or the nature of their technology. The programme has been deployed across two vehicles — Innovation Gap Fund I and Innovation Gap Fund II — with a combined $7 million in assets under management invested across 30 Oregon-based portfolio companies. Sectors of emphasis include healthcare and life sciences, cleantech and sustainability, and natural resources technology, all aligned with Oregon's designated traded-sector industries that carry the highest potential for exporting economic value and creating quality employment in the region. Over 58% of portfolio companies have diverse leadership teams, with 37% led by women and 43% by minority founders — among the highest diversity metrics in institutional US venture capital.

F2i Fund II (officially F2i – Secondo Fondo Italiano per le Infrastrutture) is the second infrastructure fund managed by F2i SGR (Società di Gestione del Risparmio S.p.A.), Italy's largest independent infrastructure fund manager with total assets under management of approximately €7.1 billion across five funds. The fund raised approximately €1.2 billion and completed its fundraising in 2015, deploying capital across key Italian infrastructure sectors over its investment period. In December 2025, F2i SGR formally launched the wind-down and liquidation process for Fund II, with assets being returned to investors as portfolio holdings mature. F2i Fund II pursued a diversified Italian infrastructure strategy targeting core and core-plus assets across sectors including telecommunications infrastructure (IRIDEOS, Towertel), energy and utilities (Sorgenia, E2i Energie Speciali), healthcare facilities and services (Kos), and logistics infrastructure (TRM). The fund's investments focused on established, mission-critical infrastructure assets with predictable, regulated, or quasi-regulated cash flows, consistent with F2i's broader mandate to deploy institutional capital into Italian infrastructure through long-term, income-oriented ownership. F2i's approach combines deep sector expertise with strong stakeholder relationships developed through decades of engagement with Italian utilities regulators, local governments, and infrastructure operators across key national sectors. F2i Fund II's portfolio performed across multiple Italian infrastructure sub-sectors during a period of significant regulatory and market evolution in Italian energy, telecommunications, and healthcare markets. The fund's wind-down, initiated in December 2025, reflects a completed investment cycle with capital now being returned to investors through a managed exit process. The success of Fund II, combined with the strong track record established by Fund I, enabled F2i SGR to raise Fund III at €3.6 billion — nearly three times the size of Fund II — demonstrating the institutional conviction in the Italian infrastructure asset class and F2i SGR's ability to source, manage, and exit complex infrastructure positions at scale.

F2i Fund III (F2i – Terzo Fondo per le Infrastrutture) is the third flagship infrastructure fund managed by F2i SGR, Italy's largest independent infrastructure asset manager with approximately €7.1 billion in total AUM across five funds. Established in 2017 and having completed its fundraising in 2018 at €3.6 billion, Fund III is currently the largest fund under F2i's management. The fund was formed in part through the migration of remaining Fund I portfolio assets into a new vehicle at the end of Fund I's investment period, consolidating F2i's Italian infrastructure platform at significantly greater scale and providing continuity of management for long-duration infrastructure assets. F2i Fund III deploys capital across a broadly diversified portfolio of Italian infrastructure assets spanning energy and utilities, telecommunications and digital infrastructure, transport and airports, healthcare, environmental services, and gas distribution. Core portfolio companies include SEA (Società per Azioni Esercizi Aeroportuali, Milan Airports), Aeroporto di Bologna, EI Towers and Persidera (tower and telecommunications infrastructure), Sorgenia (energy), 2i Rete Gas (gas distribution, one of Italy's largest), IGS (integrated waste management), and healthcare and medical assets. The fund applies a core infrastructure philosophy targeting essential, long-lived assets with visible revenue streams regulated or contracted by Italian authorities, consistent with institutional investor requirements for capital preservation and predictable long-term income. F2i Fund III is fully invested, with capital deployed across its diversified Italian infrastructure portfolio. The fund's €3.6 billion scale reflects both F2i SGR's fundraising franchise and the depth of institutional LP conviction in Italian infrastructure as a domestic and European asset class. The portfolio includes some of Italy's most strategically significant infrastructure businesses, operating in regulated and semi-regulated markets with essential service mandates and high barriers to entry. F2i SGR's track record across multiple fund generations has established it as the preeminent Italian infrastructure general partner, supporting continued fundraising through the sustainable infrastructure focus of Fund V at €1.6 billion.

F2i Fund V (F2i – Fondo per le Infrastrutture Sostenibili) is the fifth infrastructure fund managed by F2i SGR, Italy's largest independent infrastructure fund manager with approximately €7.1 billion in total assets under management. Established at the end of 2020 and completing its fundraising in 2023 at €1.6 billion, Fund V marks F2i's strategic entry into explicitly sustainability-oriented infrastructure investing. The fund carries Article 8+ classification under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), meaning it promotes environmental and social characteristics while maintaining a minimum allocation to sustainable investments aligned with the EU Taxonomy framework. F2i Fund V targets sustainable infrastructure assets across the Italian economy, focusing on sectors undergoing active decarbonization, digitalization, and service quality improvement. Core investment sectors include clean energy and energy transition (Sorgenia), environmental infrastructure and waste management (ReLife), healthcare and medical technology (F2i Medtech), and next-generation telecommunications and digital infrastructure (FiberCop). The fund's Article 8+ ESG framework integrates environmental and social KPIs into investment selection, portfolio monitoring, and reporting — reflecting the increasing alignment between F2i SGR's infrastructure mandate and institutional LP demand for sustainable, impact-aligned infrastructure exposure that meets European regulatory standards for green investment. F2i Fund V completed its fundraising cycle in 2023, building on the established F2i SGR franchise and the firm's three-fund track record in Italian infrastructure. The fund's focus on sustainable infrastructure assets — including companies in clean energy, healthcare, digital connectivity, and circular economy — positions it as a natural evolution of F2i's earlier core infrastructure vehicles while addressing growing sustainability requirements of European institutional investors. Fund V adds to F2i SGR's total AUM of €7.1 billion across four equity funds and one debt fund, reinforcing the firm's position as Italy's premier infrastructure investment platform. The fund represents a bridge between traditional infrastructure core investing and the emerging sustainable infrastructure asset class gaining prominence across European institutional allocators.

Firstime Ventures Fund III — announced in November 2021 under the working title 'Firstime $100 million climate-tech fund' — is the third venture capital fund raised by Firstime Ventures, a Tel Aviv-based early-stage VC firm founded in 2014. Backed by investor Jonathan Kolber of Viola Investment Group, the fund reached its $100 million target and deployed capital across approximately 15 Israeli technology companies, making Firstime one of the few Israeli venture managers explicitly aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The fund's thesis spans two complementary verticals: climate technology and digital health. In climate tech, Firstime focuses on precision agriculture, water solutions, renewable energy, and sustainability-enabling software. In digital health, the fund backs innovations in chronic disease management and precision medicine. Inaugural investments included BeeHero (precision pollination intelligence for commercial agriculture) and Hygieia (AI-powered diabetes management platform), illustrating the portfolio's dual-focus approach united by impact potential. The fund invests at the pre-seed and seed stages in Israeli founders targeting global markets. Fund III represents a meaningful step-up in size relative to Firstime's prior vehicles, reflecting both the maturation of the firm's brand and growing international LP interest in Israeli climate innovation. The fund is managed by co-founders Jonathan Benartzi and Nir Tarlovsky alongside partners Keren Kopilov and Itamar Weizman, who joined for Fund III's launch. Firstime Ventures has built a portfolio of Israeli startups across technology, digital health, and sustainability through three successive fund generations since its founding in 2014.

The fund was announced in November 2021 with a target capitalisation of $100 million, positioned as one of the only Israeli venture capital funds explicitly aligned with all 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At announcement, the fund had secured $50 million in initial commitments, anchored by Jonathan Kolber of Viola Investment Group, one of Israel's most prominent technology investors. Fund III focuses exclusively on Israeli-founded startups addressing climate change and global health challenges across seven defined verticals: AI for Renewable Energies, IoT and Data-Driven Agriculture, Food Security, Clean and Circular Economy, Energy and Environment, Net Zero Carbon, and Affordable and Accessible Digital Health. The fund extends Firstime's venture investing model to an impact-first mandate, complemented by Firstime Credit — a dedicated blended-finance arm designed to provide portfolio companies with growth capital alongside equity financing. Inaugural portfolio companies include BeeHero (precision agriculture hive monitoring) and Hygieia (diabetes management platform for uncontrolled patients). Firstime's prior two funds deployed $150 million into more than 30 Israeli technology startups, establishing the firm's track record in early-stage Israeli venture investing. Fund III marks a deliberate shift toward impact-first investing, with climate tech and digital health as the defining theses. The fund was also referenced in the market as 'Firstime Ventures third fund', reflecting its position in the firm's fundraising sequence.

Fitz Gate Ventures Fund III is the third venture capital fund of Houston-based Fitz Gate Ventures, co-founded by Jim Cohen and Mark Poag, who bring combined backgrounds from investment banking, corporate law, private equity, and software entrepreneurship. The fund completed its close in December 2025, with Rice University's Office of Innovation serving as anchor limited partner — deepening the firm's institutional relationship with one of its home universities and validating its university technology transfer thesis. Building on the deep-tech investment strategy refined across Funds I and II, Fund III concentrates on seed-stage hard tech and deep tech companies commercialising intellectual property from elite US research universities, including Princeton, Yale, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Virginia Tech, Baylor College of Medicine, and Vanderbilt University. The fund targets initial check sizes of $500,000 to $1 million with reserves for follow-on participation. Priority sectors include semiconductors and photonics, metamaterials, quantum computing, and other university-derived technologies with high barriers to replication. Fitz Gate deploys capital as lead investor, co-investor, or independent backer depending on deal structure. Fitz Gate's prior funds each produced one unicorn exit: Fund I's seed investment in Quantum Circuits, Inc. led to a $550 million acquisition by D-Wave Systems (QBTS). Fund II's seed investment in Celestial AI — a photonic fabric startup — resulted in a sale to Marvell Technology (MRVL) for up to $5.5 billion, announced in December 2025. These back-to-back unicorn exits underpin Fund III's thesis that the convergence of university IP and patient seed capital can produce outsized returns from deep science.

The Inlandsis Fund is the inaugural carbon finance vehicle created by Inlandsis ManagementCo, a joint initiative of Priori-T Capital and Fondaction Asset Management, both headquartered in Montréal, Québec. Launched in 2017 with a fund size of CAD $30 million and backed by Fondaction as its lead investor alongside more than fifteen institutional and strategic investors from Québec and across Canada, the fund operates over a ten-year investment horizon through 2027. The fund pioneered a unique project-finance model for the North American carbon market: it provides upfront capital to developers of greenhouse gas reduction and natural sequestration projects in exchange for the future stream of carbon credits generated by those projects. This structure addresses a critical financing gap by giving project developers the liquidity needed to implement and certify emissions-reduction initiatives before credits can be sold on compliance markets. Typical project investments range from CAD $2 million to CAD $15 million, targeting compliance markets including the California-Québec linked cap-and-trade system, California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), the Alberta carbon market, and voluntary carbon markets. Since inception, the Inlandsis Fund has supported more than 45 individual projects spanning nature-based and industrial decarbonisation sectors. As of May 2025, portfolio projects have collectively protected 22,456 hectares of land and generated reductions or removals totalling over 3 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent. Notable portfolio projects include Bluesource dairy farm methane reduction, The Climate Trust grassland conservation programme in the western United States, and the Northeast Wilderness Trust forest preservation initiative in Vermont. The fund's commercial success validated the model and led Fondaction Asset Management and Priori-T Capital to launch Inlandsis II in 2022, which closed at nearly CAD $130 million in 2024.

Investment ticket sizes range from $100,000 to $300,000 per startup, with a portfolio construction targeting approximately 20 companies. Investment criteria require founding teams to be full-time committed, with scalable and replicable business models in underserved markets and a strong technological component underpinning their value proposition.

M&G Catalyst is a proprietary growth equity and impact investment strategy launched in January 2021 by M&G Investments, the FTSE 100-listed asset manager with over £340 billion in assets under management. Unlike a traditional externally raised closed-end fund, M&G Catalyst was initially seeded from M&G's own With Profits fund and proprietary balance sheet capital, with the firm committing approximately £5 billion to the strategy. The strategy was developed to allow M&G to deploy long-duration proprietary capital directly into private growth-stage companies globally, filling a gap between early-stage VC and traditional large-cap buyout that the firm identified in the UK and European innovation ecosystem. M&G Catalyst invests in private growth-stage companies globally across four thematic pillars: Planetary Health (clean energy, sustainable food, climate technology), Human Health (biotech, diagnostics, digital health), Access & Inclusion (financial services, emerging-market technology, financial inclusion), and Enabling Technologies (semiconductors, AI, space technology, biotech tools). Investments are typically Series B and later, targeting companies with validated business models and clear paths to commercial scale. The strategy operates with a global mandate encompassing the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia, with the team taking lead or co-lead positions in growth rounds. Since its January 2021 launch, M&G Catalyst has invested over £1 billion across 35+ portfolio companies spanning all four thematic pillars, including businesses in climate technology, renewable energy, biotech, AI-enabled healthcare, and financial inclusion in emerging markets. The strategy's portfolio spans 35+ companies with a growing track record of follow-on investments and company maturation. The Catalyst team's performance supported M&G's decision to open the strategy to external institutional investors through the M&G Catalyst Growth Equity Fund I, demonstrating the viability of the impact-first growth equity approach.

The fund was launched in 2024, with initial assets transferred from Macquarie Asset Management's managed accounts into the vehicle between July and September 2024, and is available to professional and qualified investors across the European Economic Area, Australia, Hong Kong, Jersey, Singapore, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, with a minimum investment of $125,000 or €100,000. METI International provides institutional and wholesale investors globally with regulated, structured access to Macquarie's energy transition infrastructure investment strategy through a Luxembourg-domiciled vehicle that offers monthly subscription windows and quarterly redemptions with 45 business days' notice. The fund deploys capital exclusively into private energy transition infrastructure investments, targeting assets at the intersection of energy decarbonisation and infrastructure delivery. Near-term investment focus centres on electricity decarbonisation: utility-scale and distributed renewable energy generation (solar photovoltaic, onshore wind, offshore wind, and hydroelectric); clean grid infrastructure including battery energy storage systems (BESS), pumped hydro storage, and grid-scale transmission upgrades; and distributed energy infrastructure including virtual power plants and smart grid technology. The fund's longer-term mandate anticipates expansion into transport decarbonisation (EV charging infrastructure, electric rail, hydrogen fuelling networks) and industrial decarbonisation (green hydrogen production, carbon capture facilities, industrial heat electrification). Macquarie targets a net return of 9–11% and a distribution yield of 4–5% for the fund, consistent with infrastructure risk-return parameters in the energy transition segment. Macquarie Asset Management manages the METI International fund as part of its broader energy transition and renewables platform, which encompasses approximately A$941 billion in total assets globally and positions Macquarie as both the world's largest infrastructure asset manager and one of the leading dedicated energy transition investors. The Australian-domiciled companion vehicle, Macquarie Energy Transition Infrastructure Fund (METI Australia), employs the same strategy for Australian wholesale investors, while METI International provides equivalent access for non-Australian institutional investors through a Luxembourg regulatory framework. The SICAV-RAIF structure complies with EU alternative investment fund regulations, providing investors with AIFMD-compliant governance, independent depositary arrangements, and standardised reporting.

The fund held its first close in May 2023 at $500 million and reached a final close in September 2024 at $750 million in equity capital commitments, drawing institutional support from leading investors in Europe, Japan and North America. 1GT targets growth-oriented investments in private companies across North America and Europe that operate in five climate-critical sectors: clean mobility, power, sustainable food and agriculture, and the circular economy. The fund is structured as a growth equity vehicle, partnering with expansion-stage companies at the point where meaningful scale can deliver both outsized emissions impact and superior financial returns. A unique feature of 1GT's incentive structure is that half of the investment team's carried interest is directly tied to achieving the one-gigaton carbon-reduction target by 2050, aligning the team's compensation with climate outcomes rather than financial performance alone. MSIM leverages its global platform and corporate relationships to support portfolio companies in pursuing earnings growth, multiple expansion, and enhanced exit potential.

With approximately $100 billion in AUM across all Counterpoint Global strategies as of recent reports, the team is one of the largest growth equity investment platforms in the world. Counterpoint Global's public equity strategies include the Counterpoint Global Portfolio (mutual fund) and institutional mandates across U.S., global, and international equity. The team also makes direct investments in private companies alongside its public market activity. Counterpoint Global's investment approach is a bottom-up, fundamental, conviction-based growth equity strategy. The team seeks companies with durable competitive advantages, strong brand recognition, high reinvestment opportunities, above-average business visibility, strong balance sheets, and the ability to deploy capital at high rates of return. The strategy is highly concentrated and benchmark-agnostic, investing across the full market capitalization spectrum. ESG factors are actively integrated into the investment process, with the team seeking to understand how sustainability initiatives create and protect value over time. Private company co-investments are made selectively in companies that exhibit the same quality characteristics sought in public markets. Notable private investments made by the Counterpoint Global team include stakes in PsiQuantum, Infleqtion, and Commonwealth Fusion Systems, reflecting a thematic focus on deep technology, quantum computing, and clean energy. The team provides investment services to clients globally, including through the Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund series and international SICAV equivalents.

Mundi Ventures LatAm Fund I is a $100 million venture capital fund dedicated to the next generation of technology-driven companies expanding access to financial and health protection across Latin America and the Caribbean. Managed by Mundi Ventures, a Madrid-headquartered venture capital firm with more than €1.5 billion in assets under management globally, the fund announced its first close in March 2026, anchored by IDB Invest—the private sector investment arm of the Inter-American Development Bank—and COFIDES, Spain's development finance institution, alongside leading regional insurance groups. The strong institutional backing from multilateral development finance reflects confidence in both the fund's financial returns potential and its development impact mandate across the region. Mundi Ventures LatAm Fund I targets early-growth-stage companies from post-Seed to Series B in fintech, insurtech, healthtech, climate technology, and adjacent sectors. The fund plans to deploy approximately $5 million per investment into 12 to 15 portfolio companies across Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina, focusing on businesses with proven product-market fit and annual revenues between $1 million and $3 million. The investment thesis centres on AI-first and deep tech companies building proprietary infrastructure, data-driven underwriting platforms, intelligent risk models, and next-generation embedded distribution channels that can dramatically improve financial inclusion and health protection penetration in a region where insurance penetration and formal financial access significantly lag global benchmarks. The fund is led by General Partner Moises Sanchez and Partner Rafaela Andrade, who bring deep expertise in LatAm insurance ecosystems and technology-driven financial services. Mundi Ventures has already established a nucleus of category-leading portfolio companies through the fund, including Raincoat (parametric insurance platform, Puerto Rico), Sami (digital health insurance platform, Brazil), Betterfly (employee benefits and insurance platform), and Ole Life (digital life insurance), demonstrating the firm's ability to identify and back founders building transformative insurance and fintech businesses across the region. Mundi Ventures LatAm Fund I positions institutional investors for exposure to Latin America's rapidly evolving digital economy through a fund with demonstrable multilateral development finance validation.

Sector AgnosticTechnology, Software & GamingHealthcare, Healthtech & Medtech+1

NPIF – Mercia Equity Finance is a government-backed venture capital fund managed by Mercia Asset Management, operating through its subsidiary Mercia Fund Management, as part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund (NPIF). The NPIF was a landmark £400 million initiative launched in February 2017 by the British Business Bank with co-funding from the European Investment Bank and the European Regional Development Fund. The fund was established specifically to address the persistent underfunding of innovative SMEs across Yorkshire, Humber, and Tees Valley — regions that have historically received a disproportionately low share of UK venture capital compared to London and the South East of England. The fund deploys equity investments ranging from £100,000 to £2 million into early-stage and growth-stage businesses across a broad range of sectors, with particular strength in technology, artificial intelligence, clean energy, healthcare innovation, and advanced manufacturing. Mercia brings a nationwide network of regional offices and specialist investment teams, offering portfolio companies not only capital but active hands-on strategic support, co-investment introductions, and access to Mercia's broader fund ecosystem. The investment strategy deliberately targets companies with growth trajectories that cannot be sustained through traditional debt financing alone, making the fund a critical enabler for ambitious Northern founders seeking long-term equity partners. Since its inception in 2017, NPIF – Mercia Equity Finance has deployed over £71 million across more than 67 businesses in Yorkshire, Humber, and Tees Valley, supporting the creation of over 600 direct jobs in the region. Portfolio highlights include Faradion, a sodium-ion battery technology company sold for approximately £100 million to Reliance Industries, and GI UK, acquired by a Dutch multinational. Backed by the European Investment Bank, the European Regional Development Fund, and HM Government, the fund has catalysed substantial private co-investment alongside its public funding commitments, helping to build a more vibrant and sustainable venture capital ecosystem across the North of England.

Neva II

Venture Capital
Biotechnology & Life SciencesHealthcare, Healthtech & MedtechCleantech & Climatech+2

Neva II is a multi-stage global venture capital fund launched in September 2024 by Neva SGR, the venture capital subsidiary of Intesa Sanpaolo Group — one of Europe's largest banking groups and Italy's leading retail and corporate bank with over EUR 1 trillion in total assets. Targeting EUR 400 million in commitments, Neva II is the second-generation flagship global vehicle managed by Neva SGR following the firm's inaugural generation of funds. As of the September 2024 launch, EUR 187 million had already been raised and invested across five diversified portfolio companies. Neva II is managed under the Italian SGR (Societa di Gestione del Risparmio) regulatory framework and is open to qualified institutional investors globally. Neva II invests across the full early-growth venture spectrum — from seed through Series C — in technology-driven companies addressing global challenges across five priority sectors: life sciences and healthcare innovation (particularly oncology and autoimmune disease therapeutics, digital health); energy transition and cleantech; digital transformation and enterprise software; next-generation manufacturing and materials; and aerospace. The fund's investment selection requires portfolio companies to demonstrate clear pathways to solving global problems with a focus on sustainability, ESG integration, and circular economy alignment. The geographical scope is global, with particular attention to European and North American innovation ecosystems where Neva SGR has established sourcing relationships. The backing of Intesa Sanpaolo provides portfolio companies with access to a major European bank's corporate network, lending capabilities, and strategic partnerships across Italian and international enterprise markets. Neva SGR was established in 2020 as Intesa Sanpaolo's dedicated venture capital arm, building an investment platform designed to bridge between global technology innovation and the strategic needs of one of Europe's largest financial institutions. Neva II is the companion fund to Neva II Italia (EUR 100 million target), which specifically targets Italian-headquartered startups with a PIR-compliant structure. Together, the two Neva II funds represent a EUR 500 million combined investment platform — doubling the capacity of the predecessor generation. This scaling reflects both the maturation of Neva SGR's team and network after four years of active investment, and Intesa Sanpaolo's commitment to positioning its banking group at the intersection of European and global innovation ecosystems.

Neva II Italia

Neva II Italia is a PIR-compliant (Piano Individuale di Risparmio) Italian venture capital fund launched in September 2024 by Neva SGR, the venture capital subsidiary of Intesa Sanpaolo Group. Targeting EUR 100 million in commitments, Neva II Italia is structured as a closed-end Italian-law alternative investment fund under the SGR management framework, qualifying under PIR Alternative regulations that provide significant tax advantages to Italian pension funds (casse previdenziali), insurance companies, and institutional retail investors seeking venture capital exposure. As of its September 2024 launch, the fund had already raised over EUR 42 million and completed five investments in promising Italian companies. Neva II Italia invests exclusively in Italian-headquartered or Italian-founded companies at the early-to-growth stage — from seed through Series B — across five priority sectors aligned with the broader Neva SGR investment thesis: life sciences and healthcare innovation (oncology, autoimmune disease, digital health); energy transition and cleantech; deep tech and next-generation manufacturing; digital transformation and enterprise software; and aerospace. The Italian focus differentiates Neva II Italia from its companion fund Neva II (EUR 400 million, global mandate), which invests across international ecosystems. By anchoring on Italian companies, Neva II Italia gives domestic institutional investors a dedicated vehicle to access the Italian startup ecosystem with the full support network of Intesa Sanpaolo Group — Italy's largest domestic bank, with extensive relationships across Italian corporations, SMEs, family offices, and institutional investors. Neva II Italia complements the broader Neva II twin-fund platform, which together targets EUR 500 million in combined capacity — double the investment envelope of the predecessor Neva SGR fund generation. This scaling represents both Neva SGR's maturation as an Italian venture capital institution after four years of deployment, and Intesa Sanpaolo Group's strategic commitment to cultivating a domestic venture capital ecosystem that keeps innovative Italian companies within the Italian institutional investor sphere rather than ceding early ownership to foreign VC firms. The PIR Alternative structure of Neva II Italia has attracted particular interest from Italian pension and social security funds, which historically have been underallocated to the domestic VC asset class relative to peer European institutional markets.

OPC Opportunity Fund I LP is a follow-on and opportunistic investment vehicle managed by Oval Park Capital LLC, a Raleigh, North Carolina-based venture capital firm founded in 2018 by Justin Wright-Eakes, a Durham native who spent eight years at New York City hedge funds before returning to build a technology-focused investment platform in the US Southeast. The fund was structured as a complement to Oval Park Capital's flagship vehicle, OPC Venture Fund I (closed at $20.5 million in 2021), enabling the firm to pursue follow-on investments in its strongest existing portfolio companies at the Series A and Series B stages while also selectively backing new breakthrough physical technology companies solving mission-critical global challenges. OPC Opportunity Fund I held its first sale on December 7, 2023, with a target of $20 million registered in Delaware, and had raised approximately $9.66 million from 22 investors as of January 2025 per SEC Form D filings. The fund's sector focus spans deep technology and hardtech verticals including advanced manufacturing, climate technology, industrial artificial intelligence, healthcare data infrastructure, robotics, energy systems, agriculture technology, water technology, and construction technology. Geographically, Oval Park Capital deliberately targets the Southeast United States, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions — ecosystems that historically attract less venture capital than coastal hubs yet harbor significant engineering talent, major research universities, and industrial heritage that supports hardware and deep tech company formation. Oval Park Capital manages a second fund, OPC Venture Fund II, which was in preparation for launch in 2026, building on the combined platform's mission to deploy capital into North American deep tech and hardtech companies across underserved innovation ecosystems.
