The Sustainable Water Fund offers a rare opportunity to invest in one of the most critical, and chronically underfunded pillars of the global transition: water.

With water scarcity, pollution, and infrastructure pressures accelerating worldwide, demand for innovative, scalable, and high-performing water solutions has never been stronger. The Sustainable Water Fund is designed to capture this momentum by investing in companies delivering measurable environmental impact while generating attractive long-term financial returns.

Focused exclusively on sustainable water management and biodiversity, the fund targets resilient and high-growth European SMEs providing solutions in:

• Water resilience and availability (reuse, conservation, nature-based solutions, desalination, flood prevention)

• Water quality and ecosystem protection (micropollutants removal, PFAS mitigation, biodiversity restoration)

• Efficiency and circularity (digital monitoring, IoT and AI for water systems, resource valorisation, circular economy models)

The investment strategy combines disciplined value creation with a strong impact framework, including:

• A portfolio of 12–20 high-potential companies,

• A target fund size of €100–120 million,

• A projected net IRR of 16% and 2.4x gross performance,

• A classification under Article 9 SFDR, with strict impact measurement and alignment with key UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The water sector represents a fast-expanding market experiencing strong regulatory tailwinds, increasing public funding availability, and urgent demand from industries, municipalities, and agriculture. Yet, despite its scale and importance, it remains one of the least financed segments of climate-tech, creating ideal conditions for early and strategic investors.

The Sustainable Water Fund aims to unlock this potential, combining financial performance, long-term resilience, and meaningful environmental impact.

The timing could not be more compelling to invest in the water transition.
