Investment Services

Are you a startup, or a growth company in nanotechnology, microelectronics, deep tech or the Internet of Things? With our captive fund of KBC Group (Focus Fund), we aim to boost your sector and be a partner for your scaleable company and your excellent team.

Focusing mainly on Belgium and its neighbouring countries which are home to the top technological expertise centres, we support your budding business with:

• Investments of up to 5 million euros over the lifecycle of your company. Our investment sweet spot lies between 0.5 million and 2.5 million euros in a first round. We can be a lead or co-investor, and we do not exclude companies with an important hardware component.
  
• Technical expertise and business introductions. We have access to the entire KBC Group’s network and can connect you to major expertise and experience in funding and business.
  
• Assistance in every stage of your company’s growth cycle, from idea to IPO, with dedicated M&A, Corporate Finance, and Research and Sales departments.

KBC is also invested in the Start It @KBC programme and spin-off funds and university spin-off funds such as Gemma Frisius Fund and Qbic, as well as in Imec.xpand. This gives us valuable insights in deal flow and potential new ventures.
