Building the Infrastructure of Resilience
First Imagine!
About Us
First Imagine! is a European venture capital firm investing in AdapTech — technologies that strengthen resilience, autonomy and productivity in an increasingly fragmented and volatile world. We back scalable innovations across energy, food, water, industry and digital infrastructure.
Founded in 2016, First Imagine! backs entrepreneurs building the foundational systems of resilience. Our investment thesis is built around adaptation, industrial transformation and the latest technological developments that enable societies and businesses to thrive in a rapidly changing and unpredictable world.
Sector Focus
The world is moving from transition to adaptation. Geopolitical fragmentation, supply-chain disruptions, climate stress and cyber risks are creating demand for a new generation of technologies focused on resilience rather than efficiency alone.
Energy
Distributed energy systems, microgrids, storage, energy orchestration and resilience infrastructure.
Water & Food
Desalination, precision agriculture, smart irrigation, food security and resource efficiency.
Circularity
Resource recovery, advanced recycling, local materials production and zero-waste processes.
Industry 5.0
Robotics, automation, advanced manufacturing, industrial AI and agile production systems.
Cross-Cutting Theme: AI-Enabled Transformation
We invest in technologies emerging from the latest AI-enabled technological shifts, accelerating the evolution of resilience infrastructure, industrial systems and resource management.
