Investments in technical and industrial innovations

The B&C Innovation Investments

B&C Innovation Investments GmbH (BCII) invests in innovative technology-based growth companies of relevance to the industrial sector and therefore ‘old economy’.

We focus on companies with highly committed founder teams, who we support as an investor and active shareholder.

Through the activities of BCII, the B&C Group, in addition to its majority shareholdings in AMAG, Lenzing and Semperit and its long-standing activities in funding scientific research, also contributes to promoting Austria as an attractive business location.

BCII’s investments focus on founding teams that pursue business models with innovation and technological at their core and targeting promising growth opportunities. The aim of BCII is to support founding teams not only with capital, but also by connecting them with well-established companies and strengthening their position on the market.

BCII does not pursue stringent exit strategies for its investments. It is open to long-term partnerships with growth companies given a clear perspective on future valuation increase.
