SBI Holdings has entered into a strategic partnership with Speedinvest GmbH, alongside its wholly owned subsidiary SBI Ventures Europe GmbH, to deepen venture capital activity across Europe.

As part of the agreement, SBI Ventures Europe and Speedinvest will establish a joint venture (JV), with both parties holding equal 50% ownership. The initiative brings together Speedinvest’s pan-European investment platform and SBI Group’s global business network, aiming to create a collaborative framework for venture capital deployment.

The newly formed JV is expected to support participation in multiple venture capital funds managed by both parties. This includes involvement in the Financial Infrastructure Fund (tentative name), led by SBI Ventures Europe, through a feeder fund structure, subject to regulatory requirements in relevant jurisdictions. The structure is ready to streamline access to investment opportunities while broadening the reach of both firms’ capital networks.
