In November 2009 Gimv launched the Gimv-Agri+ Investmunt Fund together with Agri Investment Fund (AIF). This fund focuses on innovative companies in the agricultural sector and related sectors in the Benelux and neighbouring countries.
Gimv-Agri+ Investmunt Fund is managed by the Life Sciences team of Gimv, which will be able to count on the support of the entire Gimv organisation and the active involvement of AIF’s agricultural specialists.
In a first closing, Gimv-Agri+ Investment Fund raised EUR 60 million. As sponsor, Gimv invested EUR 30 million, with AIF, as co-sponsor, contributing the remaining EUR 30 milion. The fund will be sounding out opportunities for possibly attracting additional investment resources from other institutional investors.
