An active shareholder with engaged, specialised and experienced investment teams

We forge fruitful partnerships with companies and ambitious management teams through Gimv’s five strategic investment platforms: Consumer, Healthcare, Life Sciences, Smart Industries and Sustainable Cities. By using various growth levers such as internationalisation, innovation, revenue growth, digitalisation, operational excellence or strategic buy-and-build pathways, we work together to build sector leaders through sustainable growth. Our portfolio companies have access to our dedicated and experienced multi-disciplinary teams with deep sector knowledge, all with a local presence close to the entrepreneurs combined with an international outlook.

Investment platforms

A flexible partner with a solid balance sheet

Gimv invests directly in companies, mainly with the equity on its balance sheet. With its strong balance sheet and permanent access to long-term capital, Gimv can act flexibly as an evergreen partner. This flexibility also translates into a wide range of investment structures (buyout, growth or venture capital for the life sciences sector), through both majority and minority holdings. This allows us to address each portfolio company’s specific needs.

Investors

With continuous attention to sustainability

Gimv has fully integrated sustainability – or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) – into how it operates and invests. The dialogue between Gimv’s teams and the management of our portfolio companies on sustainability is data-driven, helping the companies to identify targeted priorities and set targets to be achieved together during Gimv’s period as a shareholder. By keeping its finger on the pulse of regulatory and other sustainability developments, Gimv aims to be a guide for its portfolio companies, pointing them in the right direction when and where necessary or useful.
