About Chalmers Ventures

Sector focus spans deep tech, quantum and hardware, life sciences, enterprise software, cleantech and energy and mining and industrial tech. Geographic deployment is Sweden (Gothenburg region) core plus Nordic, scaling portfolio companies internationally. The platform converts Chalmers research into companies.
