The FMO Ventures Program focuses on early stage, tech-enabled direct investments alongside a lead investor and indirect investments with a more generalist focus in funds.
What all investments have in common is innovative business models applying disruptive technology to enable or improve affordable access to goods and services to un(der)served communities, predominantly in Africa and the European neighborhood, and in certain parts of Asia.
FMO Ventures focuses on Fintech, Energy Access, AgriTech, and invests in generic funds.
We hosted founders and VC fund managers from Asia and Africa for a day of insights, collaboration, and real cross-border connections--get a glimpse into what took place here.
The FMO Ventures Program launched in 2020 as a 200 million Euro investment facility supported by contributions from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and a guarantee from the European Union with a 4-year investment period. In Aug 2024, FMO launched the second facility as a 200 million US Dollar investment facility to continue the mandate to invest in early-stage companies in Africa and South-East Asia.
