BNP Paribas and Solar Impulse Foundation have launched a Venture Fund aimed at focusing on solutions that will change the world for the better. This fund encourages cleantech companies to act for the environment by providing their technologies to the market whilst remaining profitable.
Based in Grenoble France, BeFC is a company at the heart of the ecological and digital transition. BeFC develops biofuel cells that create electricity with cellulose papers and biomolecules called enzymes. With the Solar Impulse accreditation, BeFC Bioenzymatic Fuel Cells was invited to share its experiences : from the investment made in the company by BNP Paribas Développement / Demeter / Supernova Invest , to its accreditation as one of the #1000solutions by Solar Impulse, to TODAY.
"The BNP Paribas Solar Impulse Venture fund will be managed by BNP Paribas Agility Capital; which intends to invest €150 million in high-potential startups committed to the ecological transition, in order to accelerate their development and help scale up." - BNP Paribas.
This fund will be dedicated to startups accredited as part of the « Solar Impulse Efficient Solutions » program thanks to the rigorous evaluations of independent experts who will measure feasibility as well as economical and environmental efficiency.
