Background
Trio Impact Invest
The Stockholm region is currently a European hub for research and innovation, aiming to become the world's most innovation-driven economy.
At the same time, there is a clear and acknowledged gap in the capital market when it comes to early, non risk averse and long-term capital for research based companies with high risk, complexity and time-to-market.
It is clear that the lack of capital has adversely effected the conditions for deeptech companies.
STRONG COMMUNITY
Stockholm Trio as a community is one of the strongest in the world with over 30% of Swedish academic research and education.
MANY IDEAS
Over 250 research-based innovation projects are initiated annually with the help of the innovation support offices of Stockholm Trio.
HOLDING COMPANIES
The holding companies, actively investing in this segment for the past 25 years, have shown that it is possible to achieve both great return of investment and important societal gains.
KEY PLAYERS
The companies we will be investing in play a key role in future Swedish industrial and sustainable development. That is why robust and smart capital is a condition for the future of Swedish competitiveness and our entire knowledge society.
What is deeptech
We define deeptech as pioneering technology that requires intensive scientific research and development and large demands on time and capital to make it from idea to market implementation. Deeptech companies can be found in multiple technical platforms.
