Nestlé Venture Capital fund provides Nestlé with a better access to new science, technology, and know-how opportunities through acquisitions, minority stakes, licensing, and joint-ventures. The fund specifically looks at life sciences (food and nutrition in general, health-enhancing food, agricultural biotechnology), as well as commercial applications, such as consumer relation management, food processes and packaging technologies. The fund is geared towards investing worldwide, and its objective is to also provide long-term capital growth and to have relevant R&D projects developed in form of start-ups, especially those that are of a high-risk nature or do not fit the group's strategic priorities.
