ABP and OMERS launch investment program INKEF Capital

Pension funds ABP from The Netherlands and OMERS from Canada ring in the start of a unique joint initiative: the investment program INKEF Capital, which intends to invest in start-ups in the knowledge economies of both countries. A 15 year program, INKEF Capital is planning to deploy € 200 million in Canada and the Netherlands over the first 5 years.

INKEF stands for Investing in the Knowledge Economy of the Future and the program is meant as a double-edged sword. The pension money that INKEF Capital will invest in start-ups with innovative ideas and technologies will not only contribute to the returns for the pension holders of ABP and OMERS, but also to the development of the high-level knowledge economy. Furthermore INKEF Capital distinguishes itself from other investors by its long term investment horizon and active mentoring of the start-ups.
