🔍 Wondering what Sweden’s most active impact investors are actually looking for in 2025?

Following up on Impact Loop’s ranking of the most active impact investors in Sweden – where Chalmers Ventures came in at #2 – their latest feature dives deeper into what drives our decisions, where the capital is flowing, and how the impact landscape is evolving. 🗺️

💬 “We invest in early-stage companies at the intersection of research and commercialization. That means we’re assessing what will still matter 10–15 years from now – and that mainly comes down to resilience, clean water, energy, food, digitalization and health,” says Pontus Ottosson, CEO & Head of Investments at Chalmers Ventures.

🧭 As one of the Nordics’ leading deep tech investors, you probably know that we’re deeply embedded in Chalmers’ vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, working closely with research-based innovation from Chalmers University of Technology. But did you also know we actively invest outside of Chalmers too?

Whether it’s spinning out a breakthrough from campus or backing a visionary team elsewhere, our focus remains the same: strong tech, grounded in knowledge and research, with the potential to solve global challenges.

📖 Curious to learn what else we (and others) are doubling down on this year?

🚀 Where deep tech meets real-world impact – Chalmers Ventures among Sweden’s top impact investors.

🌍 We love to see Impact Loop highlighting the investors driving real change through impact investing in Sweden. Their deep dive into the data of our country’s most active impact investors shows just how much is happening in this space – and we’re proud to be part of that momentum, coming in at #2 on the list, just after Almi Invest.

💬 “Investment-wise, it was a strong year for us. We’re coming from a very positive market a few years ago with high valuations and lots of capital, which is now normalizing – a tough shift for many startups,” says Pontus Ottosson, CEO & Head of Investments at Chalmers Ventures.

A couple of the impact highlights from 2024:
🟢 KORALL | New investment | Develops the next-gen of direct air carbon capture, rooted in research from Chalmers University of Technology. True to our model, we’ve been involved from the start - from venture creation to investment.

🌳 Modvion | Follow-on investment | Pioneering sustainable wind towers out of engineered wood, accelerating the transition to renewable energy and materials.

💬 “Modvion is an incredibly exciting company, with a tech that significantly reduces the carbon footprint of wind energy,” adds Pontus.

🙏 Thanks to .se for keeping focus where it matters – on the innovations and investments creating a better future.

🧭 While we’re proudly connected to Chalmers University of Technology, Chalmers Ventures also invest in companies beyond this ecosystem – though always with a strong tech focus.
