INVESTMENT FOCUS

We are seeking technology companies (start-ups and early growth) that leverage mobility (e.g. internet-of-things), distributed computing (e.g. cloud, blockchain) and artificial intelligence (machine learning, big data, predictive / prescriptive algorithms) to offer services / products for Smart Environments (e.g. smart manufacturing / industry 4.0, smart home, smart health, etc.)
