A prosperous economy realigned with nature
As the first private venture capital impact fund exclusively dedicated to the (circular-) bioeconomy,
ECBF aims to catalyze the transition towards a sustainable future.
Together with passionate and visionary entrepreneurs, we speed up the shift from a fossil-based to a circular bio-based economy and contribute to achieving the European Green Deal goals to make Europe climate neutral by 2050.
For this purpose, we build pan-European market leaders by investing EUR 300m in growth-stage companies with high potential for innovation, favorable returns, and sustainable impact. In syndicates with private and public investors, we are offering flexible financing tools from equity to mezzanine.
Venture Capital for Transformation
“We are convinced that impact and return go hand-in-hand today. A corporate strategy aligned with ESG criteria is key for companies looking to gain a competitive advantage in the future.”
