What we invest in

ROBOTICS & AUTOMATION

Automation is the answer to labor shortages. Technological advancements make robots not only more flexible, but also more accessible for non-experts, driving adoption in new applications and markets.

INDUSTRIAL CONNECTIVITY& DATA ANALYTICS

As machines increasingly get equipped with sensors, data gathering at scale makes new analytics and business models possible: Predictive maintenance, process optimization and advanced procurement, for example. This contributes to a more efficient and resilient economy.

ADVANCED MANUFACTURING& ENGINEERING

Industrial firms are bringing manufacturing jobs back home, as geopolitical tensions have risen. The ability to customize products and produce them in a sustainable way is necessary to stay competitive. Additive manufacturing technologies and novel engineering tools such as robot programming and simulation solutions are at the core of this development.
