Achmea launches €100 million investment fund

Achmea has launched its Achmea Innovation Fund to provide growth capital to promising tech and other businesses, operating in Achmea’s strategic domains: health, mobility, living environments and financial solutions for now, tomorrow and later. The initial size of the fund is €100 million.

The Achmea Innovation Fund focuses on promising, fast-growing start-ups and scale-ups, often based on emerging technologies in the Fintech and Insurtech sectors. The fund aims to invest in businesses with a proven product market combination (PMC) that are part of insurance-related ecosystems. In addition to investing, the fund is determined to foster long-term partnerships.

“We believe firmly in innovations that make our society healthier, safer or more future-proof. This is why we will continue to develop and support appealing, innovative initiatives that, as well as having a major social impact, also deliver value for Achmea. These initiatives should align with the UN’s three Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), on which Achmea is focused: good health and well-being, sustainable cities and communities and climate action. We are keen to work with innovative and ambitious business operators who share our mission. We do this by investing and using Achmea’s strengths and unique attributes, such as our distribution strength, market position and expertise and our network.” – Willem van Duin, chairman of Achmea’s Executive Board.
