Our approach to Venturing

group of business people
We believe our approach is different to traditional venture capitalist activities.
Our emphasis is on building long-term mutually beneficial partnerships in the areas that support our overall business strategy.

Value BP can bring

  • Long-term commitment and strategic partnership
  • Market access, channels, logistics, customers
  • Global reach, infrastructure networks and connections
  • Finance: advantaged access and expertise
  • Accelerated growth, joint technology commercialisation
  • Scale-up, complex project management expertise
  • Policy expertise, regulatory and government analysis and networks
So how are we different? Our venturing activity differs from traditional venture capital activity as it is always designed to support our overall business strategy rather than being an end in itself.

Our investment criteria

When it comes to selecting potential partners and investments, we are selective in our investments. Our criteria includes:

1) The stage of development: there should be a working prototype.
2) The innovation should have mass market potential and significant scale economies.
