Since 2013, industrial gas company Air Liquide has utilised its venture capital fund ALIAD to strengthen investments in innovative impact start-ups to meet environmental and societal challenges.

Having made more than 40 investments since its creation, ALIAD has invested over €25m since 2020 including €15m in the field of energy transition.
