Novaterra is a Milan- and London-based permanent holding company founded in 2024 that invests in 'intellectual capital: minds capable of solving substantial challenges, those that hold the potential to revolutionise industries and positively impact society at large.' Rather than a traditional time-limited VC fund, Novaterra is structured as a self-sustainable, evergreen investment firm building a conglomerate of critical technology companies. Its four investment pillars span Planet Health (climate, energy transition, agrifoodtech), Human Preservation (life sciences, digital health), Space & Deep Tech (spacetech, advanced materials, semiconductors), and Responsible Technology, with a focus on companies that are essential to resilient value chains in sectors such as energy, chemicals, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals.
