Invest-NL

The Netherlands needs to become more sustainable and more innovative. 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! About us The Netherlands needs to become more sustainable and more innovative. 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).
