As our Head of Global Venture, Ed Phillips says: 🌊 “There’s never been a better time to innovate in the Ocean” 🌊

#WorldOceanDay on Saturday highlighted the growing opportunity for ocean investment. As enabling technologies such as the internet, automation and cloud computing become more commonplace in legacy industries at sea, barriers to entry are falling for investors and entrepreneurs alike.

Future Planet Capital’s blue portfolio has grown in tandem, and we look forward to continuing this momentum in leveraging the ocean to create impact in the race against climate change.

It’s great to see that NeoVac, one of Future Planet Capital’s portfolio companies, has been granted full authorisation by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency to begin clinical trials in the UK. 
 
With this being the first time NeoVac’s ground breaking Lipid Nanoparticles (LNP) will be tested in human volunteers, the trial marks a crucial step in the development of NeomiVac, the company’s mRNA vaccine against COVID-19.
 
Future Planet Capital has long-supported innovation in drug discovery, which forms a key part of its investment strategy. We’re proud to continue our support of the UK’s most promising biotech firms, such as NeoVac, and look forward to witnessing the positive impact this new trial will have on people’s lives across the globe.
