“With the global population expected to increase from 7.5bn to 9.8bn by 2050, there will be even more stress on available water resources as water use historically increases in line with population & GDP. The team behind Iv3 Aqua has decades of experience in acquiring, building and operating water treatment plants, and has a long track record of building successful businesses. Only a fraction of the world’s 3% of fresh water is accessible for human consumption with the other 97% found in the ocean. We therefore find Iv3 Aqua’s business model very interesting, and going well in hand with our purpose to invest in businesses having a positive impact on society.”

“We found kindred spirits at A.P. Moller Holding. They are long-term investors with relevant, global experience, and, like us, believe in the mission of providing water to water scarce or water compromised regions. We are building this new venture on the back of two prior, successful water companies, and believe we have found the right investor.”
