Through strategical investments and partnerships with venture capital firms and start-ups around the world, GCV not only provides solutions to the problems, but also prepares GC for expansion. It invests in venture capital funds to foster exponential innovation and business growth.

Initiated in 2020, ECBF is a European Union fund located in Luxembourg, with Hauck & Aufhäuser Funds Services SA as its alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) and ECBF Management GmbH as its experienced circular bioeconomy consulting team. ECBF’s vision is to drive the transition from a fossil economy to a bioeconomy, aiming to fill the financial gap in the European bioeconomy, especially in terms of Europe’s leading expertise in renewable technologies. Private investments in this fund now total more than €300 million, financing growing firms in Europe’s bio-economy and circular bioeconomy that meet the most stringent levels of ESG criteria.
