The 3 E fund was set up to finance the development of companies whose innovations help to reduce the impact of human activities on the environment and/or ensure lasting and reliable access to inexpensive energy.
The fund, managed by Emertec Gestion, acquires minority participations in start-ups, mostly French, with high growth potential.
The fund acquired four participations in 2006, and now has six companies in its portfolio. The operations were in quite varied sectors: a software suite for better energy management in office and industrial buildings (Wirecom Technologies), an electrochemical process to extract and recycle metals contained in aqueous effluents (Elsametal), electric micro-boilers with cyclone exchanger and innovative regulation (Prime Technology), a clean and economical decontamination process using pulsed light.
