Investment thesis

Innovacom positions itself as a pioneer of Europe's industrial transitions, arguing that European industry must reinvent itself around areas of genuine technological excellence rather than simply relocating past activity. Acting as a 'catalyst-investor,' the firm finances disruptive innovation and supports major digital, industrial, environmental and societal transformations. It backs entrepreneurs from the creation stage through growth, contributing its expertise and a collaborative approach spanning the industrial, startup and academic ecosystems. As a long-term active investor, Innovacom seeks to build significant financial and strategic value, drawing on a track record of hundreds of financed startups, numerous exits and multiple managed funds.
