VNT Management Ltd

VNT Management Ltd manages Power Fund I and Power Fund II, venture capital funds with a focus on clean technology. Commitments to the funds total €80 million. The major investors consist of Finnish institutions and global power electronics corporations.

VNT Management, founded in 2002, is one of the first management companies in Europe to focus on renewable and distributed energy generation and energy-saving technology companies. We believe that we can show rate-of-return figures well above the median because of a focused investment strategy and experienced partners with a proven track record.

Both Power Fund I and II are limited partnerships, and investments are mainly made in renewable and distributed energy generation and energy-saving technologies, especially in electrical and power electronics applications. The funds normally make equity-based minority investments.

VNT Management Ltd is owned by its management team. The key executives of VNT posses core experience in the power conversion and control industry, providing essential added value to the Fund's target companies.

 

Focus on Clean Technology

Power Fund I and Power Fund II are both focusing on clean technology. This refers to a diverse range of products, services, and processes that harness renewable materials and energy sources; dramatically reduce the use of natural resources; and cut or eliminate emissions and waste.

The special focus of the investments is on renewable and distributed energy generation and energy saving technologies, especially in electrical and power electronics applications. High interest is in innovations where different forms of energy are converted into electricity – e.g., wind and solar power, wave power and hydropower, and biomass – and in energy-saving applications such as power grid efficiency, electrical vehicles, variable-speed generators, and industrial drive trains.
