Webinar on 9/02 Fertilizing Impact Entrepreneurs through Seed Investment

Join us on Thursday, February 9 at 9 a.m. to talk about the agricultural and food transition with the actors and entrepreneurs of our new impact seed investment program, Tiina (Transformation and Impact through Investment in Agriculture and Food). Sign up !

Acting for the transformation of food and agricultural systems

The urgency of the agricultural and food transition encourages us to support creativity and solutions that break with those we know. Foundations have a key role to play in mobilizing their funds, partners and expertise to serve committed entrepreneurs, from the seed phase.

How can seed funding complete the range of tools that can be mobilized by investors? How does it fit into an impact investment policy that complements associative subsidies? Who are the entrepreneurs concerned? What are the expected impacts on the climate, health and biodiversity? What support to succeed?

Together with our partners MiiMOSA and makesense, we will present our new Tiina impact investment program. Two winning companies, Simple comme bonjour and Neptune, will also be present to testify about their experience. The Anyama Foundation will continue the discussion on the issue of impact investing in the philanthropic world. This meeting will be moderated by Alexandre Kouchner, journalist.

This webinar is open upon registration via this link.

A seed fund for daring entrepreneurs!

Tiina is our new impact investment program that contributes to the emergence of innovative solutions for the agricultural and food transition. Carried out in partnership with MiiMOSA and makesense, this seed program is intended to support and finance between 20 and 30 project leaders to the tune of 1 million euros over 3 years. It responds to all the challenges of the transition and aims at impacts on climate, health and nutrition, biodiversity and regeneration, access to healthy products and fair value chains. “We want to promote and support the emergence of a generation of entrepreneurs whose ambition is to succeed in the agricultural and food transition. Tiina and the Foundation provide seed funding, which is non-dilutive ,” explains Marie-Stéphane Maradeix, General Delegate of the Foundation.

Seed funding, one of the ways to impact investing

Fully involved in the fight against global warming, we are acting beyond the support granted as part of our Sustainable Food sponsorship axis, through our investment policy. Since 2015, we have chosen to align our portfolio with our convictions and our vision of a more ecological, inclusive and fulfilling society. Convinced of the relevance of impact investing in identifying models that provide solutions for a sustainable and inclusive world, the Foundation has invested €46 million, or 9% of its assets, to promote the emergence of a generation of entrepreneurs actively contributing to the transition. Through investment in these funds, which support growing, often innovative companies that are always breaking away, the Foundation is betting on the change of scale of these players and their ability to move the lines.
