Davos technology platform nears completion: impact investment opportunities in energy, climate and sustainability.
Davos, Switzerland — September 2025 — The Davos Technology Platform in development since January 2024 is nearing completion as a global hub designed to connect breakthrough innovators with the capital, talent, and partnerships they need to scale.
Engage experts worldwide to identify the most promising technologies and proven solutions ready for international expansion
Origins and Mission
First conceived at Davos in January 2024 by the Altru Institute, with the backing of a network of collaborative organizations committed to advancing solutions for global challenges. The platform’s strategy is to engage experts worldwide to identify the most promising technologies and proven solutions ready for international expansion, then showcase these companies in order to connect them with financial and strategic partners.
An efficient means for investors to find investments that offer both high impact and high return.
Finding the most scalable projects.
The platform focuses on the most scalable companies as measured by rapid revenue growth as an indication of meeting a demand and then transferability. To what degree can this be taken worldwide and do those who control want to do so? These range from early-stage firms with breakthrough technologies; Later-stage firms with validated solutions positioned for global expansion.
Company Profiles standard template
Companies are organized into general sectors as well as targeted categories aligned with specific problems identified in Altru’s research focused on sustainability and address climate challenges. Intial areas of focus are energy, water and waste.
The platform seeks to correct the fundamental flaw in today’s financial system: the resource gap: innovators with transformative solutions struggle to access the capital, talent, and networks required to succeed.
The platform seeks to correct the fundamental flaw in today’s financial system: the resource gap: innovators with transformative solutions struggle to access the capital, talent, and networks required to succeed. The Davos Technology Platform offers what its creators describe as a rational and utility-driven approach to bridge that gap.
The right introduction changes everything.
The process follows four clear steps:
1. Assemble leading experts, investors, and executives across key challenge areas.
2. Identify the projects and companies with the greatest potential to scale.
3. Profile companies provide continuous editorial coverage of these companies and projects.
As the organizers emphasize: “The one critical connection can bring success to worthy companies.”
Funding and Sustainability
Initial funding to build the platform was provided by the Altru Institute, while ongoing maintenance is sustained through fees paid by platform users. This model ensures the platform’s long-term viability as an independent utility for advancing innovation.
Looking Ahead
As it reaches full deployment, the Davos Technology Platform aims to become a cornerstone for global collaboration—helping promising innovators scale faster, and providing investors and partners with direct access to solutions that can drive both progress and prosperity.
