With the aim to unlock growth, we invest in and partner with promising start-ups and visionary innovators - and by injecting our very own rocket fuel we activate our portfolio companies’ full strategic potential.
We support thinkers and doers who focus on global challenges, and by investing in them, we fast-track the adoption of smart logistics technologies, address supply chain inefficiencies, and create a more sustainable transport and logistics sector.
Bringing value beyond capital

Where we partner
We drive transformation in the trade and logistics industry by unlocking the potential of promising startups in three critical areas:
- Smart logistics: The future of logistics is digital, flexible, transparent and convenient. We invest in ventures that deploy new technologies and business models to enhance the global flow of goods.
- Enabled trade: Smaller enterprises are disadvantaged by complexity in the supply chain and lack of information, trust and financing. We invest in ventures that are eliminating these barriers by simplifying and improving access to trade.
- Sustainable Supply Chain: Sustainability is a global aspiration and logistics has a key role to play in addressing environmental and societal challenges. We invest in ventures that increase sustainability by reducing emissions and waste across the supply chain.
