Tech-Enabled Transformation

We invest in

We address global challenges where tech plays a role as a key enabler

As cyber-criminals grow more sophisticated and customer data embeds deeper in the digital economy, technology is essential to tackle global cyber security and data privacy concerns.

The right technology can ensure regulatory compliance governed by GDPR, AML and KYC, as well as prevent cybercrime, fraudulent transactions, and money laundering.

Key megatrends

Technology disruption, energy transition, global population growth, compliance and governance requirements, increasing safety and health risks and costs.

What are the challenges?

Risk & vulnerabilities

Extreme weather, natural disasters, and cyberattacks have been among the most common global risks since 2018.

Regulatory complexity

Difficulty to ensure the right level of data protection, transparency, and accountability, which has led to billions in fines.

Inefficient resource flows

Circular economy business models, facilitated by digital platforms, can unleash EUR 1.8 tn in annual benefits and a 7% increase in GDP by 2030 based on the current development scenario in Europe alone.

What are the solutions

Enable governments and companies to better protect their systems from illegal activities and thereby disrupt the flow of money to criminals. Focus areas include product safety & compliance, traceability, and asset security – for example, through cybersecurity software and risk management tools.

Enable SMEs to ensure that they have effective tools in place to protect data privacy and workers’ safety in line with regulations and other considerations. The investment focus is on reporting, auditing, and financial crime prevention tools to improve data privacy and worker safety (HSEQ).

Use technology solutions to enable companies to use resources more efficiently with a focus on technologies for energy transition, waste management, transportation, food, construction, and infrastructure, as well as EdTech and digital healthcare solutions and platforms.
