The Tech Ventures team in WAE invests in early stage deep-tech companies via its two Venture Capital funds:
• Foresight WAE (formerly Foresight Williams) is a general deep-tech fund, EIS & VCT, with a first ticket size of £0.5m to £2m
• Sainsbury’s Innovation Investments is a cleantech fund investing Sainsbury’s money and focused on getting Sainsbury’s to net zero by 2035, with a first ticket typically £0.5m
WAE is owned by Fortescue Metals Group which has made an industry-leading pledge to cut its carbon emissions to Real Zero by 2030, and our sister company Fortescue Future Industries is investing $6bn in hydrogen and related technologies to achieve that ambition.
