◾ In 2023, and for the 5th consecutive year, France topped the EY European attractiveness barometer, with 1,194 projects, surpassing the UK and Germany, as chosen by 500 international decision-makers who rated it the most attractive country in Europe for foreign investments (link to EY report in the comment section): 🥇 France: 1,194 projects 🥈 UK: 985 projects 🥉 Germany: 733 projects ◾ On the Investment Fund side, more international investors are also slowly but surely beginning to recognise France as one of the best jurisdictions in which to invest >> Nine years ago, France introduced the 'Société de Libre Partenariat' (SLP), a specific investment fund structure enhancing competitiveness and aligning with Luxembourg’s Special Limited Partnerships. The SLPs are tax-transparent, meaning they aren't taxed at the fund level. ◾Shift4Good Fund is following this SLP structure, which is particularly advantageous for foreign investors, as it avoids capital gains tax on French-source income under certain conditions. Reach out to me or my partners Yann Marteil, Matthieu de Chanville, Thierry de Panafieu, Julien Baumont for more on this topic. A big congratulations to Nicolas Jacquemin, CFA, Pascal Cagni and Laurent Saint-Martin for their remarkable successes in promoting France as an investment destination to international investors!

Join our great team and have an impact ! 😊

♻️ The Joint Year of Sustainability between 🇫🇷 France and 🇸🇬 Singapore was officially launched on April 11, 2024! The initiative was kicked off by Singapore Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong during a dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron. It marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries and aims to highlight and promote cooperation in sustainable development and the green transition. >> This resonates strongly with Shift4Good's unique positioning for several reasons: 1️⃣ We are an Article 9 Impact Fund with a dual-headquarters structure in Paris and Singapore. We are focused on sustainable mobility, not just road but also maritime sustainable mobility. 2️⃣ We are supported by French & Singaporean Tier 1 LPs, the likes of 🇫🇷 Bpifrance, 🇫🇷 Renault Group, or 🇸🇬 ComfortDelGro. Our LPs are all engaged in the decarbonisation of transportation. 3️⃣ We have started to build a portfolio of fabulous startups based in 🇫🇷 and 🇸🇬. 4️⃣ We are co-investing with some of Singapore best tech VCs like Motion Ventures (co-investor with us not only in 🇸🇬 Pyxis but also in 🇫🇷 Sinay), SGInnovate (co-investor with us in 🇸🇬 NEU Battery Materials), and SEEDS Capital (co-investor with us in 🇸🇬 Pyxis). 🍾 On April 17th, we celebrated this historical France-Singapore Joint Year of Sustainability initiative by co-organizing our April Mobility Mixer event with IMC Ventures, the corporate VC arm of TPC (Tsao Pao Chee), a Singapore-based company active in 15 countries, with more than 8000 employees, and whose mission is to empower the well-being economy. 🚀 Over 200 distinguished guests joined our event [VCs, government agencies, maritime corporates, startups], with the Ambassador of 🇫🇷 France to Singapore, Ms Minh Di Tang, attending as the guest of honour!

It’s Singapore Maritime Week, and last night, we had the pleasure of co-hosting our inaugural networking event with Shift4Good, a VC fund dedicated to impact investing in the smart mobility & circular economy sectors.    The event featured around 200 distinguished guests comprising investors, government agencies like Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and Enterprise Singapore, maritime corporates, and tech innovators – with the Ambassador of France to Singapore, Minh Di Tang, attending as guest of honour. Eight start-ups making waves in the maritime tech landscape were also invited, including among them our portfolio companies. Pyxis, Shippeo, Sinay, bound4blue, BeeX, Sea Machines Robotics, Aidrivers Ltd., and Everimpact sit at the forefront of decarbonisation and AI, and their solutions are redefining the future of maritime operations and sustainability.   It was an exciting opportunity for participants to network and learn how innovation and collaboration are propelling the maritime industry forward.
