Investors

The original structure of Emergence has already convinced and attracted 16 top-tier investors, representing the diversity of the French institutional landscape: life insurers, mutual insurance groups and reinsurers, pension funds, public bodies and large corporations.

While benefiting from a high-return investment, Emergence investors can effectively contribute to the development of a part of the finance industry that finances sustainable growth for the French and European economy.
