MITO Technology

MITO Technology serves as a strategic advisor to venture capital funds focused on catalyzing profound societal shifts toward sustainability. Initially established as a technology transfer facilitator between public and private sectors, the organization has evolved over 15 years into a pivotal entity within Europe's innovation landscape. Their collaborative network spans across multiple stakeholders including corporations, academic institutions, research facilities, emerging businesses, financial institutions, and investment funds, positioning them at the intersection of technology and sustainable development.

The organization's strength lies in its diverse team combining deep technological expertise with specialized knowledge in technology commercialization, innovative financing structures, and intellectual property management. This multidisciplinary approach has enabled MITO to develop a sophisticated advisory model that bridges the gap between scientific innovation and market implementation. Their methodology has continuously evolved to address the changing dynamics of the sustainability technology sector, allowing them to identify promising opportunities that deliver both environmental impact and financial returns.

In 2018, MITO Technology marked a significant milestone by sponsoring and advising Progress Tech Transfer, pioneering Italy's first venture capital fund exclusively dedicated to sustainability technologies. This initiative demonstrated MITO's commitment to channeling investment into transformative environmental solutions while establishing their credibility in the specialized sustainability investment space. Progress Tech Transfer operates as a Reserved Alternative Investment Fund (RAIF) under Luxembourg law with external Alternative Investment Fund Manager oversight, providing a structured approach to sustainability investments.

Building on this foundation, 2024 saw MITO launch its most ambitious initiative to date: MITO Tech Ventures, one of Europe's first early-stage climate technology funds fully compliant with Article 9 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). This compliance represents the highest standard for sustainable investment products in Europe, requiring funds to have sustainable investment as their core objective. Like its predecessor, MITO Tech Ventures operates as a Luxembourg RAIF, focusing on early-stage opportunities in climate technologies that promise significant environmental impact alongside financial performance, further cementing MITO's position as a pioneer in Europe's sustainable investment ecosystem.
