As the European tech industry evolves, Target Global remains at the forefront, seeking out innovative companies like Robovision, Saleor, and Finom. These recent investments reflect the firm's commitment to supporting cutting-edge technology and business models.

The funds range from Early Stage Funds, focusing on nascent startups, to Growth Funds that support more mature companies scaling their operations. The firm's co-investment strategy has led to over €1 billion in capital deployment across a diverse array of partnerships.

Its portfolio spans over 140 companies at various development stages, with a focus on those targeting trillion-dollar markets.

- Flo Health, an AI-driven women’s health product, which is the world’s top health and fitness app by downloads.

- Robovision, an easy-to-use AI-driven computer vision platform for users to develop their own deep-learning-based solutions.
