🌍💡 Gisteren waren we aanwezig bij het event 'Financiering van de energietransitie' georganiseerd door Euroforum. Het was een inspirerende dag vol inzichten en waardevolle gesprekken over de toekomst van duurzame energie. Onze venture partner Rard Rijcken nam deel aan de panel samen met Danny Benima, Andre Faaij en Cora van Nieuwenhuizen. Hun discussie over de uitdagingen en kansen in de energietransitie was bijzonder interessant. Na de lunch verzorgden wij een break-out sessie waarin onze Janneke Bik een introductie gaf van SHIFT Invest en twee van onze portfoliobedrijven hun propositie voorstelden: Maxem Energy Solutions (Simon Smit) en Friday Energy (Bouke Siebenga). Zij deelden praktijkverhalen over hoe hun projecten gefinancierd worden en de impact die ze maken. Dank aan iedereen die aanwezig was en bijdroeg aan deze waardevolle dag.

Open letter: Dutch F&A scale-ups, a potential goldmine? 🌱 Dutch food scale-ups are innovative and help solve our sustainability challenges, while helping the Netherlands secure its international lead in food and agriculture for the future. This can be achieved if the Dutch government provides them with a level playing field. The Netherlands boasts a strong agriculture and horticulture sector, with innovative SMEs, top-notch higher education institution Wageningen University & Research, and multinationals like Unilever and FrieslandCampina. However, there's a significant investment gap. While Dutch scale-ups raise an average of €35 million, their international competitors secure €84 million. This disparity threatens our scale-ups' growth and continuity. We call on the Dutch government to bridge this gap with additional public funding, ensuring our scale-ups can thrive and keep the Netherlands at the forefront of the Food & Agri sector. Let's support our scale-ups and unlock their full potential! 🚀 Read the full open letter, signed by, among others, Marco Snikkers (OneThird ), Corjan van den Berg (revyve) Jasper Schouten (1-2-Taste), Bert-Jan Woertman (StartLife), Wendy de Jong (Oost NL), Anouk Snelders (Health Food Wall), Ruud Peerbooms (Corbion), Kees Aarts (Protix), Joana Carneiro-Wakefield (NutriLeads), Marjolein A.J.
