Innovation themes

We invest in innovation

Groundbreaking technology is at the core of our investments. We give industrial visionaries the opportunity to work freely, and support them in solving the world’s most pressing problems.

Advanced materials

Advanced materials possess new or better properties that improve performance over conventional products and processes. In a world with material shortage, advanced materials will be a crucial input factor for sustainable solutions and new technologies enabling less use of natural resources and lower environmental footprint.

Biochemistry

As humanity is evolving and the world population is growing, new trends and needs arise. The science of chemical processes related to living organisms allows us to re-imagine health, modern medicine and food production. Biochemistry will take us to the next level of biotechnology and - engineering, and enable us to meet the new demands of our species.

Circular economy

Circular economic systems contribute to solving global challenges related to waste, biodiversity, and pollution. Technologies enabling smarter use of resources to ensure the best possible use of them is crucial for minimizing resource usage, waste creation and greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a sustainable society.

Clean Energy Systems

Clean energy systems include all forms of power generation methods without a negative impact on the environment. As the world is moving towards net zero, clean energy systems is needed across all industries in all parts of the world.

New space

New space describes the worldwide trend of privatizing the space industry. What was once dominated by a few government players, is now becoming a diverse market consisting of both small and large companies seeking opportunities within space discovery, technology and commercial services. New space is not just going to revolutionize what we can do in space, it will also make us rethink our life on earth.

Resource Scarcity

The demand for natural resources is constantly increasing and many resources are becoming scarce. This will have a major impact on our economic prosperity and how we live our lives. Examples leading to resource scarcity includes fast growing populations that put pressure on natural resources, and rising economic prosperity leading to increased consumption of resource intensive products.
