De Tijd highlighted the first close of our new fund. 🙌 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝟮 allows us to keep being first believers, backing brave, diverse early-stage biotech founders with bold ideas for a healthier planet. 🙏 This journey would simply not be possible without the trust and support of our investors. It's great to have partners who not only believe in our mission but actively champion it. Raf Moons, Head of Private Equity at BNP Paribas Fortis, captured it perfectly: “Biotope contributes to a sustainable and resilient food system that benefits both people and the planet, a goal that BNP Paribas Fortis fully endorses.” And as Celine Vaessen, CIO of SFPIM puts it: “Biotope has not only attracted top international talent but also played a key role in accelerating the go-to-market strategies of the incubated start-ups.” To our investors BNP Paribas Fortis, SFPIM Relaunch, Agri Investment Fund, anacura, The Nest Family Office, Edaphon and VIB: 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 for your vision, your confidence, and your belief in building something that truly can make a difference!
