Group 67

Take global action now

We invest patient capital in four strategic areas, aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Inclusive Digital Economy

How do we make education, skills, and jobs accessible to everyone in a way that meets societal needs?

Climate Tech & Smart Cities

How can we improve climate and urban resilience and use renewable energy technology to future-proof our cities?

Sustainable Consumption

How do we educate consumers on the ethics of their purchases and build sustainable supply chains in a globalized world?

Healthcare & Life Sciences

Empower diverse perspectives

AIV invests in diverse founders driving transformative companies that benefit profitability, people, and the planet. To bridge the gender investment gap and capitalize on the proven strengths of women founders, we give significant attention to women-led businesses which currently receive less than 2% of VC funding in the US and Europe.
