The MILE fund (Mirova Impact Life Essential)1 has joined the TIBI initiative, launched by the French government in 2019, which aims to promote the emergence of financial players capable of accelerating the growth of innovative companies, transforming them into regional or global leaders while contributing to the development of the technological ecosystem in France.
This is the second fund from Mirova to join the TIBI initiative.
The MILE fund is committed to investing in companies developing innovative solutions in areas such as clean technology, renewable energy, and sustainable manufacturing. Its objective is to support the growth of French and European companies based on proven business models, focusing on four major investment themes:
- Knowledge & expertise: inclusive education, continuing professional training, future work, etc.
- Well-being & health: accessibility to care, aging prevention, workplace well-being, etc
- Responsible consumption: circular economy, zero waste, transparency and sustainability, etc.
- Diversity & inclusion: empowerment, civic engagement, awareness of environmental and social issues, etc.
This approach aligns with the eligibility criteria for the initiative, within which institutional investors commit to dedicating a larger and additional portion of their allocations to financing French start-ups, both in the unlisted segment of private equity, the listed segment of technology stocks, and high-risk industrial projects with a proven technological component.
