Investing capital and expertise for impact

• Influencers are driving agendas and changing the way leaders act

• Covid-19 is creating new calls for sustainable development and clean recovery

• The technology pipeline is plentiful after 10+ years of R&D grants, particularly in the UK

• Well executed engineered products offer attractive investment returns to match digital technologies

But developing hard-tech is hard…

• Engineering product development  needs time, specialist expertise and support

• Engineers tend to focus on perfecting their technology, ahead of commercial and market development

• Small businesses struggle to secure the expertise and facilities to develop market ready products  

• Traditional VCs don’t have the structure or capability to provide the required depth or type of support
