Alliance Venture

Digitalization as a tool for reaching the sustainability goals

Alliance Venture was established in 2001 and is headquartered in Oslo, as well as smaller offices in Stockholm and Palo Alto in Silicon Valley. Through their fourth venture fund, Alliance Venture Delta, they invest in companies that contribute to sustainability goals through digital solutions and business models.

The focus is on Nordic technology companies in the venture phase offering innovative solutions in the field of renewable energy, aquaculture, health, the maritime sector and finance.

Crucial in the fight against climate change

Digitalization is an important tool for reaching global sustainability goals. The European Commission estimates that digital technologies can help reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by up to 15 percent. Digitalization enables, among other things, better use of resources, circular business models, green energy transition and sustainable choices in everyday life.

If we are able to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, we will also meet the climate goals – the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change highlights that these targets are intrinsically linked. An estimated 5 – 7 trillion USD in investments is needed annually to meet sustainability goals by 2030, and investors such as Alliance Venture play a key role in mobilizing parts of this capital.

The global Covid pandemic has also shown us how important digital solutions are at a time when mobility and physical interactions are difficult. Digitization has been, and will continue to be, essential for collaboration, information sharing and decision-making.

Valuable growth partner

Alliance Venture’s extensive experience and solid expertise in digitization makes them a valuable partner for growth companies looking to scale up. Through careful selection and close follow-up they contribute to value creation, and their international network of co-investors also help to strengthen the access to capital for international growth.

Sustainability is at the core when the venture fund chooses which companies to invest in, and the criteria is that the technology offers a positive contribution to one or more of the sustainability goals. Alliance Venture is an important player in increasing efforts and available capital for a critical segment in the fight against climate change, both in Norway and internationally.
