Davos technology platform nears completion: impact investment opportunities in energy, climate and sustainability.

Davos, Switzerland — September 2025 — The Davos Technology Platform, launched in May 2025, is nearing completion as a new global hub designed to connect breakthrough innovators with the capital, talent, and partnerships they need to scale.

Origins and Mission

The initiative was 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.

Company Profiles

The platform highlights two categories of companies:
1. Early-stage firms with breakthrough technologies; and
2. Later-stage firms with validated solutions positioned for global expansion.

Companies are organized into general sectors as well as targeted categories aligned with specific problems identified in Altru’s research, from energy and climate to water and waste.

Addressing the Resource Gap

The platform seeks to correct what organizers call a fundamental flaw in today’s financial system: the resource gap. Too often, 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 process follows four clear steps:
- Assemble leading experts, investors, and executives across key challenge areas.
- Ask them to identify the projects and companies with the greatest potential to scale.
- Profile these companies on an accessible global platform to reach solution-seekers.
- Provide continuous editorial coverage of their progress to attract further support.

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.
