Investments of Solvay in venture capital funds for the development of partnerships at the leading edge of advanced technologies.
New Business Development is investing in specialized venture funds and also directly into start-ups and SMEs.
A number of synergies arose, as Solvay became in some cases a customer or a supplier, offered access to its manufacturing sites for trial purposes, contributed to scale up, and eventually entered into joint development, with new business opportunities.
By investing in promising companies, directly or indirectly through venture capital firms, Solvay gains a preview of nascent technologies that could potentially enrich its technological portfolio.
