The Forbion BioEconomy fund is one of the few funds active in the Netherlands in the field of biotechnology, a sector with a strong need for additional knowledge and capital. The fund specifically focuses on the transition in materials and food production, which fits seamlessly with our mission to realise a circular economy and a climate-neutral food system, says David de Vries, Investment Analyst at Invest-NL.
The fund focuses on investing in innovative biotech companies that develop sustainable solutions across four sectors: Food, Agriculture, Materials, and Environment Technologies. Forbion specifically targets companies that have already demonstrated that their products work, thus ensuring a higher likelihood of success as they transition into their next growth phase.
Invest-NL's investment of €7.5M in the Forbion BioEconomy Fund I is part of a larger trend of increasing financial support for biotech innovations that address pressing global challenges and promote sustainable economic growth.
The announcement comes a few weeks after raising over €2B across its two newest funds - Forbion Growth Opportunities III and Forbion Ventures VII, bringing assets under management at Forbion to €5B. This significant backing underlines the confidence in the biotech sector's potential for impactful advancements.
