Salling Seeds 将支持欧洲零售、科技和可持续发展领域的初创企业，其首笔投资将投向东日德兰创新基金。
总部位于丹麦的零售公司 Salling Group 宣布成立一家名为 Salling Seeds 的企业风险投资部门，其规模为 5 亿丹麦克朗（7800 万美元），主要面向欧洲零售科技开发商。
该部门将投资专注于零售、科技和可持续发展领域的初创企业和规模较小的扩张型企业，以支持 Salling 的核心业务。尽管 Salling Group 是一家国际投资者，但它计划优先考虑欧洲本地市场。
Salling Group 在丹麦、德国、波兰、爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚和立陶宛经营食品杂货店，品牌包括 Føtex、Bilka 和 Netto。此外，Salling Group 还在丹麦开展一系列业务，包括电商平台、百货商店、咖啡店、餐厅以及餐盒订购服务。
该部门的资金由 Salling 集团提供，并将作为一支常青基金运营，提供 500 万至 2500 万丹麦克朗（78.2 万至 390 万美元）的初始投资，并预留更多资金用于后续轮次。其首笔投资是向东日德兰创新基金 (East Jutland Innovation Fund) 提供的 1 亿丹麦克朗，该基金致力于支持丹麦东日德兰地区的初创企业。
Salling Seeds 由 Andreas Møballe 领导，他也是 Salling 集团的集团战略、并购主管。他于今年早些时候加入该公司，此前曾负责食品和饮料生产商 Danish Crown 的集团战略和并购业务。
Salling Seeds will back European retail, technology and sustainability startups and its first investment is in the East Jutland Innovation Fund.
Denmark-based retail company Salling Group has unveiled a DKK500m ($78m) corporate venture capital arm called Salling Seeds that will target European retail tech developers.
The unit will invest in startups and smaller scaleups focusing on retail, technology and sustainability that can support Salling’s core activities. Although it is an international investor, it plans to prioritise local markets in Europe.
Salling Group runs grocery stores, including names like Føtex, Bilka, and Netto, in Denmark, Germany, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It also has a range of businesses in its home country including ecommerce platforms, departments stores, coffee shops and restaurants as well as a meal box subscription service.
The unit’s capital is being supplied by Salling Group and it will operate as an evergreen fund, providing DKK5m to DKK25m ($782,000 to $3.9m) for an initial investment with more capital reserved for follow-on rounds. Its first investment is a DKK100m commitment to East Jutland Innovation Fund, which backs startups in the eponymous Danish region.
Salling Seeds is headed by Andreas Møballe, also Salling Group’s head of group strategy, mergers and acquisitions. He joined the company earlier this year, having previously overseen group strategy and M&A for food and beverage producer Danish Crown.
