Follow the growth of eco-industries







The Demeter fund is a €105 million FCPR devoted to services and technology companies in the areas
of sustainable development involving:
 – eco-industries: water, air and waste treatment, site clean-up, etc.
 – eco-energies: energy efficiency, renewable energies, etc.

The eco-industry market has grown faster than the GDP for several years and has recently experienced
a clear increase related to greater interest in protecting the environment and natural resources.

At the same time, the energy sector is at the beginning of a period of sustained growth associated
with climate change, the sharp increase in the price of gas and the deregulation of the gas and electricity markets.

Lastly, new risks (industrial accidents, natural disasters and food and health hazards) have appeared
or are becoming less tolerated, leading to the emergence of a new business sector.

In these 3 areas, Europe and France are at the leading edge world-wide, in terms of politics, regulation, technology and economics.

As clearly shown by a market study in France conducted by the Demeter team, compared to large groups,
several SMEs are especially well-positioned and will benefit from:
 – growth in their markets,
 – the introduction of new technology,
 – the emergence of new markets.

These SMEs will be the investment targets of the Demeter fund.

Industrial structuring movements are underway and will continue with the growth of the markets targeted by Demeter. This dynamism will be both a source of opportunities and a significant liquidity factor for the Fund's investments.
