PORTFOLIO

ALCONIX VENTURES stays relevant and agile in times of change, invests in brilliant startups in the Materials and Manufacturing sector, and provides post-investment support to create both business synergies and capital gains.

[ Materials ]

The Material industry, including non-ferrous metals, is undergoing rapid change with new technologies and innovations.
There is a demand for high-performance materials which achieve higher functionality/precision, safe and reduction of environmental impacts.

Examples: Next generation battery components for EVs, Next generation drive motor components, 5G communication devices/terminal devices, etc

[ Manufacturing ]

The Manufacturing industry is also constantly evolving under rapid technological change and a highly competitive environment.
AI/Robotics, Digital Transformation and Clean Technology are in demand for less labor, more safety, with reduced environmental impact.

Examples: AI&Robotics/Factory Automation, Material informatics, Metal 3D printers, Metal recycling, Hydrogen generator
