    Goals / Remit

    The European Circular Bioeconomy Fund (ECBF) is the first venture fund exclusively dedicated to the (circular) bioeconomy. We invest in visionary European entrepreneurs who are driving the shift from a fossil-based to a bio-based economy. ECBF's investing industry verticals are AgTech, FoodTech, Industrial Biotech, and Biobased Packaging and Construction Materials.

    ECBF aims to catalyze the transition towards a sustainable future by investing in biobased growth-stage companies with high potential for innovation, favorable returns, and sustainable impact. As a growth-stage venture capital fund, ECBF syndicates with private and public investors to bring circular technologies and bio-products to market, offering flexible financing tools from equity to mezzanine.

    With a total of EUR 300mio under management, ECBF is focused on deploying capital on attractive and impactful companies based in the EU-27 or 16-HORIZON 2020 associated countries.
