Wij investeren in #deeptech, waaronder ook in innovaties in agri & food. Wilt u weten waarom? Lees dan bijgaand interview met Peter Poortinga in TF Magazine. Peter is CEO van ons portfoliobedrijf Solynta | true potato seeds. Solynta | true potato seeds is het eerste bedrijf ter wereld dat nieuwe aardappelen teelt uit aardappelzaad in plaats van pootaardappelen. Het aardappelzaad van Solynta kan zorgen voor een evolutie in #aardappelteelt; normaal gesproken houden telers een deel van de laatste oogst achter om weer nieuwe aardappels te telen maar met dit zaad hoeft dat niet meer. Dat kan wereldwijd een besparing opleveren van tientallen miljoenen hectare landbouwgrond. #AgricultureInnovation #SustainableFarming #PotatoBreeding #TruePotatoSeeds #Solynta #FieldUpdate #FloweringPotatoes #AgTech #FutureOfFarming #hybridpotato https://lnkd.in/eDUT2epH

We are excited to announce that our portfolio company Nearfield Instruments has successfully closed a €135 million Series-C funding round; the 2nd largest capital raise in the semicon fab equipment market in the EU/US in the past 5 years! Nearfield Instruments is well on its way to become a large, global player in the #semiconductor industry. The company is deeply engaged with most major chip manufacturers, and its new QUADRA 3D chip metrology equipment is fully validated and deployed in high-volume manufacturing. We were the first investor in Nearfield Instruments (together with Samsung ventures) and we firmly believe in the potential of their unique high-throughput, non-destructive metrology & inspection solution. The future is looking bright for this one, with the potential to join the ranks of ASML, ASM and Besi Netherlands B.V.. We want to welcome new investors Walden Catalyst Ventures, Temasek and M&G Investments, and thank all other participants of the round; including Invest-NL, ING and our partners PME pensioenfonds and Pensioenfonds Metaal en Techniek ( PMT ). Also big congrats to Hamed Sadeghian, Roland van Vliet and the rest of the team for this outstanding achievement.
