The Technology Fund provides loan guarantees in an amount of up to CHF 3 million to innovative small and medium-sized entities (SME) whose products contribute to the mitigation of climate change. Environmental benefits can be achieved by: ✅ Reducing carbon emissions ✅ Improving energy efficiency ✅ Promoting renewable energies ✅ Conserving resources One example in the portfolio is Planted Foods SA “The Technology fund has helped us get access to non dilutive funding via senior debt at a very early stage. This was crucial and is a huge advantage versus much higher priced venture debt.” Christoph Jenny, cofounder Planted Planted produces plant-based meat with only natural ingredients focusing on meaty texture and bite. The Zurich foodtech ETH spin-off was founded in 2019. The award- winning company’s pioneering work takes an innovative approach by combining proprietary extrusion as well as fermentation technology, thereby making a sustainable contribution to the environment. With this, Planted significantly helps conserving resources. Is the Technologiefonds also right for your project?
