SHIFT Invest is a venture capital fund that exclusively invests in innovative enterprises with a significant positive environmental impact potential, focusing on themes such as smart food & agriculture, green industries, energy transition, and sustainable mobility and logistics.

SHIFT Invest

SHIFT Invest, founded in 2009, is an impact venture capital fund. We turn investments into positive impact on climate and nature by investing in early-stage companies and supporting impact entrepreneurs to scale faster. 
 
Based on our fund-level impact mission we strive to bring back the balance between nature and society by fighting climate change, loss of biodiversity and depletion of the resources of the planet. We do so by supporting and investing in innovative start ups and scale ups contributing to this mission in the themes: food & agriculture, green industries, energy and mobility.

Together with our partners, we offer entrepreneurs an extensive network and insights into various sectors.

Our involvement in the start ups and scale ups we invest in is above all about the support we can give to the people who run them. This support is based on our core qualities analytic, reliable, professional and our broad expertise.

We are a diverse and experienced team committed to accelerate innovation by supporting the creation and acceleration of great companies. We work according to our values, professional, ambitious, entrepreneurial and fun.

You are invited! Start-up pitching night 🎤

We are excited to team up with FoodHack and Google and host this event for food & agri founders that want to pitch their ideas, get tips and insights from industry experts and network with the great FoodHack community.

The power of a community such as FoodHack lays in opportunities to learn, build and think together. We would like to use that evening as an opportunity to share advice on how to pitch but also spark curiosity about what’s next in food. 🌱

This might be the evening someone gets the idea that will disrupt our food system or where some of you meet their business partner that will propel your idea forward. 💡 

To witness start-up founders' pitches, get tips and advice, and discover what is Next In Food save your seat for April 3rd via this link: https://lu.ma/2ed7kn6h

"Een duurzame energiebron die 24 uur per dag beschikbaar is" 🌍
 
Leuk artikel op Change Inc. over de potentie van geothermie en de rol die Canopus Drilling Solutions kan spelen in het ontsluiten van deze duurzame energiebron.
 
🔩 Wat maakt Canopus anders?
De gepatenteerde technologie van Canopus stelt klanten in staat om horizontaal of met een bocht te boren in elke gewenste richting, en dat bij ondiepe tot ultradiepe putten. Dit betekent dat geothermieputten tot 2.5 keer zoveel energie per installatie kunnen opleveren, wat een gamechanger is voor de industrie.
 
💡 Impact op Duurzame Energie
Geothermie speelt een cruciale rol in de overgang naar duurzame warmte en elektriciteit. Met de innovatie van Canopus kunnen we de uitdagingen van netcongestie en de warmtecrisis aanpakken, terwijl de kosten die traditioneel geassocieerd worden met geothermische energie lager zijn.
