The Twente Technology Fund is an independent venture capital fund aiming to capitalize on new technological developments, by providing investment capital to fund high tech entrepreneurial activity in Twente region in general and at the University of Twente in particular. The Fund is a specialist fund, targeting companies that are developing commercially promising products and technologies in attractive sectors like Clean Technology, Nanotechnology, ICT and Biomedical Technology. The Fund focuses on seed and early stage companies, but also on pre-seed commercially viable academic projects. The benefits of this early funding means that emerging breakthroughs in research and technology businesses can be sustained by sufficient venture capital to optimize their chances of success and ultimately provide revenue to the Fund’s investors and the research groups involved. Once these companies are established with seed funding, the Fund will seek to work with other traditional venture capital companies to partner in the effort to advance these technologies.
