Pymwymic and Triodos Investment Management (Triodos IM) are proud to announce the completion of the transfer of Triodos Food Transition Europe Fund to Pymwymic, marking the launch of Pymwymic Healthy Food Systems Growth Impact Fund III (the “Growth Fund”). The new fund expands Pymwymic’s investment activities into growth-stage investing, adding a new class of investments to spur the transition to a more sustainable food system.
For over 30 years, Pymwymic and Triodos IM have shared a belief that capital can be a force for systemic change, backing businesses working towards a healthier, more sustainable food system. The transfer of Triodos Food Transition Europe Fund to Pymwymic is a natural progression of a relationship that was built over decades and marks an important new chapter.
With the addition of the Growth Fund, Pymwymic now manages more than €170m across three funds and a portfolio of more than 40 companies across the food value chain in 16 countries, reflecting one of the deepest track records in European impact-driven food and agriculture investing.
“For Pymwymic, this transfer represents a step-change in our ability to back food system innovators also at scale. It creates a strong platform for ambitious food and agriculture businesses across Europe, with the right capital, expertise, and strategic network needed to scale their impact.”
The transfer reflects a broader evolution taking place across the impact investment market. As the sector matures, sector expertise and long-term alignment matter more than ever. By combining complementary knowledge, networks, and investment experience, a more connected ecosystem is created for entrepreneurs, giving them stronger access to long-term strategic support and new opportunities across the food value chain. The launch of the Pymwymic Healthy Food Systems Growth Impact Fund III reflects this shift, creating a strong long-term home for impact-driven food and agriculture investing.
“We are pleased to have completed the transfer of Triodos Food Transition Europe Fund to Pymwymic. With Pymwymic as a leading sustainable food investor, the fund is well positioned for continued growth and sustained impact, ensuring continuity for investors and portfolio companies.”
Combining the three funds expands Pymwymic’s investment options and fosters collaboration across its portfolio. With companies spanning different stages of the food system, from farm to fork, Pymwymic can better connect technologies, operators, and industry expertise to help portfolio firms scale and increase impact. The larger portfolio also encourages founders addressing related challenges to collaborate and strengthen the food and agriculture ecosystem.
As part of the transfer, Adam Kybird, Artem Galchenko and Josep Segarra Garcia will join Pymwymic from Triodos IM, expanding the team to 14 people in total. Their addition supports continuity for the fund’s portfolio companies and its investors, while further strengthening Pymwymic’s expertise in later-stage investing and long-term active ownership. The Growth Fund will continue investing in privately owned mature businesses across Europe that help drive the transition towards ecologically and socially resilient food systems.
“For over a decade, Triodos Food Transition Europe Fund has backed pioneers reshaping our food system, proving that impact and financial returns can go hand in hand. Moving to Pymwymic builds on that track record and provides a strong platform for the fund’s next phase.”
For Triodos IM, the transfer aligns with its strategy to focus on five growth areas: financial inclusion in emerging markets, energy transition in Europe, listed impact equities and bonds, bespoke institutional solutions, and nature-based solutions. These priorities reflect where Triodos Investment Management sees the greatest potential to scale its impact and value for professional and institutional investors.
For Pymwymic, the launch of the Healthy Food Systems Growth Impact Fund III marks another important step in its mission to redefine food from the soil up.With deeper expertise, a broader portfolio, and the ability to back companies from early innovation through to growth and maturity, Pymwymic is entering a new era as one of Europe’s leading specialist food system investors.
