The Amazon Bio-Economy Impact Investing of Althelia/Mirova Capital
Alan Batista: Today we learn about Amazon bio-economy investing by Mirova Natural Capital (formerly the Althelia Biodiversity Fund Brazil). Mirova is a leading investor in bio-economy entrepreneurship of the Amazon region with investments in agroforestry, sustainable beef, and more. Originally founded as Althelia Ecosphere, receiving support from the European Investment Bank and subsequent support from the USAID Development Credit Authority, their biodiversity fund was later acquired by Mirova. As a reference for private and public sector blended finance, the fund has learned a lot and refined their investment thesis along the way, adapting to the special needs of the Amazon region. Join us to learn about their journey with Alan Batista.
