Industrial Group: Waste & Recycling

An international industrial group was standing up a corporate venture arm to deploy capital into waste and recycling, a sector adjacent to its core business but new to the investment team.

The work brought an operator's lens to the early pipeline: where the credible opportunities sit, how to read technology maturity and funding gaps that a market report does not show, and how to source deals beyond the obvious names.

The output was a full read of the sector and its technology landscape, distilled into a shortlist of target companies, each mapped to the group's investment mandate with the rationale for fit.
