Supporting scalable business concepts and strategic ventures aligned with regional growth trends and evolving market demands.

Innovation and new venture opportunities
Investment Thesis

The thesis

Adjacent to the core business sit opportunities where trade, technology and market access combine — new ventures, platforms and models that leverage our network and market position. These are higher-risk, higher-optionality opportunities, assessed with the same discipline as everything else. The same governance and transparency discipline applies here — see our CARAVAN analysis.
