This requires dedication, patience and capital. But above all, it requires entrepreneurs - genuine entrepreneurs with genuinely good plans for the Netherlands of the future. We are here to finance those genuinely good plans. We are Invest-NL, impact investors, and we make tomorrow possible. Pleased to meet you! We will make the difference. We aim to make an impact by seeking a return. We are not afraid to go for opportunities that others decide against. This is because we are prepared to take risks, we are able to wait longer for our money than others, and we have access to European funds. But also because we are passionate and motivated, we are professional and competent, and we believe in our mission. We provide encouragement, speed things up, create opportunities and remove obstacles. We enable financing for businesses and projects that seem impossible to finance. Rather than competing with others, we work together with them, and this enables us to achieve more than any of us could have done on our own. By taking risk ourselves, we reduce the risks for others. We are an open organisation that thinks broadly and looks ahead. When we look ahead to 2050, the economy we see is radically different from today’s economy. We see an economy that pays greater attention to people, the environment, society and our shared future. This cannot be achieved without major social transitions, confidence in opportunities and long-term thinking. This is something we are responsible for. The entrepreneurs who will create the Netherlands of tomorrow may only just be starting out. The technology that will be required is still in its infancy. This is where we come in and where we will make a difference. We cannot do this alone, nor would we want to. You are welcome to join us in achieving this aim. Welcome to the Netherlands of tomorrow. Focus areas Our ambition is to make the Netherlands more sustainable and more innovative. We aim to achieve this by financing projects and businesses, as well as by providing advice and/or carrying out research on how to enable financing for business cases. As an impact investor, we always focus on the social returns throughout the entire chain. This allows us to gain insight and expertise. This involves learning, making adjustments, reformulating, and refining. Our current market focus has six focus areas. Biobased & Circular Economy: The Netherlands' target is to be 50% circular by 2030 and 100% circular by 2050. We therefore view circularity as a social transition. We research and support the development of markets in which circular solutions can flourish, and we invest in companies that contribute towards these goals. Carbon-neutral economy: The transition to a carbon-neutral economy by 2050 requires radical innovations and is our top priority. AgriFood: The transition towards a sustainable, climate-neutral food system and value chain is key to our strategy. Radical innovations and an integrated strategy are required in order to work towards a circular model with innovative technologies and business models that can accelerate the transition. Deep Tech: For Deep Tech, we launched the specialised Deep Tech Fund (DTF). This fund is particularly interested in start-ups and scale-ups with innovative complex technology that offers solutions to societal challenges. Investments are often made in new, as yet unproven technologies that bear relatively high risks. Life sciences & health: The Dutch healthcare system is not sustainable in its current form. Without intervention, healthcare costs will double by 2040 and one in four Dutch people will have to work in healthcare. This calls for a transition to a different healthcare system. Investment funds: We want to give fast-growing SMEs (start-ups and scale-ups) more and improved access to risk capital. That is why we make investments, some of which are in collaboration with the European Investment Fund (EIF).

We accelerate and invest in tech companies solving the world’s greatest challenges. This is representing the fastest growing markets and therefore the greatest business opportunities. We have so far invested in 146 companies from 47 different countries. In brief Katapult is an investment company, focused on highly scalable impact tech startups. We currently have invested in 146 companies across 47 countries. Our accelerator programs strengthen our investment in highly-promising impact tech startups. Since 2017, we have conducted 10 flagship accelerator programs and 3 corporate accelerators. We established the Katapult Foundation in 2020, gathering our non-profit initiatives under one arm. The Foundation is focusing on building the impact community and education efforts around impact investment. Initiatives include Katapult Future Fest, Katapult X and the Nordic Investment Network. Scale profit and impact There has never been a better time for tech impact startup investments – and to scale profit and impact you need a platform. “Tech” because software has been eating the world for more than a decade, disruptions are everywhere, and we have only seen the beginning. It represents a global transition of business development and culture more impactful than the industrial revolution. Over the last years we have seen that tech can have tremendous negative and positive consequences, and our mission is to use tech for good. “Impact” because all of the biggest challenges the world meet today, from the consequences of splinternett, to a global political attention directed towards sustainability goals, are driving a global trend. If we direct it right, it is both going to make impact investing mainstream, and therefore an outperforming asset class – on the right side of the future. “Startups” because there has been a shift in where new technologies and innovations arise. Particularly if you want to solve large problems. It used to be within established large corporations, and now, the fastest moving and most impactful solutions are built by entrepreneurs. Startup ecosystems are leading innovation. That trend has accelerated over the last decade, spread to all corners of the world, and we have only seen the beginning. “Investment” because all of the new solutions that need to be built require an enormous transition of capital into new industrial solutions, ranging from climate-tech, ocean-tech agri-and food-tech, ed-tech, health-tech, food-and agri-tech – to all things tech. The biggest challenges humanity faces today are also the fastest growing markets, represents an unique investment opportunity, and requires huge investments to solve. “Platform” because to solve big challenges you need to scale, build lots of companies, make many bets, and bring in capital and talents from everywhere. One single great investment can be great, but it takes a platform – an investment machinery – to really make a difference. This year Katapult will reach 100+ tech – impact – startup – investments and we got there by building a platform, and in the next decade we will build it better. Leading because… otherwise we should do something else. History Katapult was founded by active impact investor Tharald Nustad in 2016. The intention was to go beyond investing his own resources to create vehicles and raise awareness to catalyse more investors to move into impact investing and use technologies ‘to build the world we want to live in’. Katapult has now established itself as the leading player in impact tech in the Nordics. In a short period of time we have invested in more than 138 tech impact startups through our vehicles and put the Katapult Future Fest on the map as the event to go to for impact and tech in Europe.

Pioneers in deploying venture capital into high impact agrifood tech since 2014, we back ambitious teams that are reconnecting and strengthening the link between human health and the health of the planet through innovative technology. Clay Capital was founded with the belief that food is both the cause of, and remedy to, some of today’s most urgent challenges: environmental degradation, societal inequity, and human health. We see these issues as interconnected.In Europe and Asia especially, there is a generation of entrepreneurs motivated to tackle the $12 trillion market opportunity that lies in restoring and reconnecting human and planetary health - and who have a toolkit fit for purpose: from farmers and chefs, to biotechnologists, computational biologistics, plant scientists, computer engineers and multidisciplinary teams merging these skillsets. There is no single silver bullet; transforming a system that has supported humanity in its evolution from Nomadic to Agrarian, and been the seed that rooted and grew societies around the globe, will not happen overnight. Therefore, there’s an urgent need for both transitional solutions and revolutionary new infrastructure. We aim to back both, and enable a healthier food system to co-exist with a healthier planet within our lifetimes. Clay Capital invests to strengthen and refocus how materials are produced and consumed through innovation to have sustainable, nutritious, and circular outcomes. This context presents us with unrivalled opportunities for smart investing - investments that address urgent issues today, for a better tomorrow.
