Vision
By putting Dutch Deep Tech technology companies on the international map and by financing their international growth, Deeptech Equity NL contributes to a sustainable future and a green and digital Dutch industry. To achieve this we search and connect scale-up companies, and together with national and international VCs and LPs, we increase investments in the Dutch Deep Tech ecosystem. Deeptech Equity NL will be the first Deep Tech fund, with a 15 year horizon, investing in ‘Key Enabling Technology’ (KET) necessary for the climate and energy transition in the Netherlands. These Deep Tech leaders of tomorrow receive active guidance for 15 years and get the adequate financial support to evolve into a global player with an IPO in Amsterdam.

sustainable future by
investing in a green and
digital Dutch industry,
with a focus on the major energy, food and health transitions.
“financing the green & digital transition of the industry to create a healthy planet for future generations”
Focus areas
Deeptech Equity NL focuses on seven clusters according to TNO
Dutch Deep Tech companies contribute to solutions of some of the world’s largest issues and challenges.
In the energy sector, hydrogen fuel cells could replace diesel GenSets, solar roofs could power residential homes and Artificial Intelligence could better predict electricity demand and supply.
In the food & agriculture sector, cultured meat has the potential to replace livestock farming and vertical farms promise to save water while producing much larger output on much smaller land area.
In the healthcare sector, remote diagnostics and monitoring solutions promise to provide a more complete and personalized care, while saving significant costs to the industry.
Substantial investments in these Key Enabling Technologies are essential for them to make a true impact on a more sustainable future.
We focus on seven clusters based on TNO classification: Quantum, Engineering & Fabrication Technologies, Chemical Technologies, Nanotechnology, Photonics, AI and Advanced Materials.
Industry Support
The establishment of Deeptech Equity NL to finance the growth and scale-up of breakthrough companies up to their IPO phase is widely supported by the industry. The companies listed below strongly endorse the activities of Deeptech Equity NL:
Sustainability
Deeptech Equity NL is a thematic investment fund that intends to invest in companies that directly contribute to the green and digital transition of the wider industry. These companies typically develop products or solutions that directly contribute towards solving global environmental and social challenges, such as the energy, health and food transition.
The fund is aiming to be classified as Article 8 under the Sustainable Finance Directive Regulation (“SFDR”).
We have developed a set of Sustainability and ESG investment criteria that guide our investment decisions.
Companies with a favourable ESG profile are companies that have a strategy in place to mitigate external ESG risks, such as the climate change risk. In order to be marked as sustainable, they should also reduce or eliminate the negative effects of their own operations on the planet.
In short, the companies which we will invest in need to combine outside-in ESG risks and influences, with the inside-out perspective as well as develop products or solutions that directly contribute towards solving global environmental and social challenges in order to be sustainable.
In short, ESG strategies are often concerned with outside-in risks and influences, while Impact strategies adopt the inside-out perspective.
Impact
- The company develops one or more Key Enabling Technologies with the intention to facilitate the green & digital transition in its industry
- The company’s solution directly contributes towards at least one Sustainable Development Goal
- Impact is clearly defined and quantified
ESG
- Program to measure and reduce environmental footprint of own operations is operational
- The company has a strategy in place to mitigate material ESG risks, including climate change risks
- An organization that promotes diversity, equality, and inclusion. The fund is in the process of preparing processes and documents required to comply with the SFDR regulation.
