Scania Growth Capital

The funds are a platform from where Scania can support capable entrepreneurs with a large ecosystem of technologies and skills, as well as broad and deep industry knowledge with the aim of adding great value to the portfolio companies. The portfolio companies will gain access to this large ecosystem and at the same time have contact with a small and agile investment team that will follow them through all the ups and downs along the entire lifespan of the investment period. We believe this gives the entrepreneurs the best of both worlds.

The fund is managed by an external management company, East Hill Equity, which consists of a team with extensive experience in venture investments and deep insights into the mobility industry. Scania Growth Capital's investment activities may include, but are not limited to, companies with products, solutions or services that involve digitalisation, autonomous vehicles, connectivity, hybridisation, sustainable energy and smart factory solutions.

The Scania Growth Capital exchange programme is a partnership with the companies in which Scania Growth Capital has invested, with the aim of supporting Scania’s vision to be the leader in sustainable transport solutions and drive the shift towards a sustainable transport system, while also helping our portfolio companies in their growth journey. It is a professional development programme that aims to develop Scania employees, learn entrepreneurial skills from agile high growth companies and generate value for both Scania and the high-growth companies through stronger partnerships.

In this way we are able to use partnerships as a way of giving our employees the opportunity for professional development through a hands-on learning experience in a different environment. This broadens their perspectives and gives them experience of an entrepreneurial culture. The employees participating in the programme will be on a steep learning curve that will help them contribute to the acceleration and development of Scania’s entrepreneurial muscle.
