About

The European Circular Bioeconomy Fund (ECBF) is a specialized venture capital fund dedicated to driving the transition from a fossil-based to a bio-based economy in Europe. Established in 2020 and headquartered in Luxembourg, ECBF was initiated with support from the European Union to fill a critical funding gap identified in the growth phase of bioeconomy companies. The fund, managed by Hauck & Aufhäuser Funds Services S.A. and advised by ECBF Management GmbH, has raised €300 million, surpassing its initial target of €250 million. ECBF focuses on investing in growth-stage companies that contribute to the circular bioeconomy, aiming to support innovative entrepreneurs whose technologies can revolutionize industries and promote sustainability. The fund's portfolio includes companies across various sectors such as bio-based materials, agritech, and bioplastics. ECBF's investments align with the European Green Deal goals, particularly the aim to make Europe climate neutral by 2050. The fund's approach combines financial support with strategic guidance, leveraging a diverse and experienced team to help portfolio companies achieve both environmental impact and favorable financial returns. Investors in ECBF include a mix of public and private entities from across Europe, reflecting broad support for advancing the bioeconomy sector.
