Investment thesis
GSF was conceived as a UN-oriented venture capital fund to finance start-ups emerging from the Global Innovation Centers (GIC) program. Structured as a private Canada-domiciled investment partnership, it aims to magnify the impact of UN innovation initiatives through impact investing tied to Sustainable Development Goals. The fund invests in companies and technologies incubated across an international network of innovation hubs, helping start-ups access UN procurement opportunities and international markets while attracting private capital. GSF also operates an incubator arm to ensure consistent deal flow, emphasizing cognitive diversity, cross-border collaboration, and locally rooted innovation ecosystems.
