Our history
Since 1985 we have been extremely fortunate having worked with some of the most talented and innovative people we know. We have invested in innovative startups and consulted to universities and R&D organisations helping them commercialise their Intellectual Property.
Aspiring entrepreneurs constantly ask ask us to help them with their startups, and there was no way we could meet this demand. So we decided to “clone ourselves” and created our online learning platform – BusinessNavigate Academy – to help more people to realise their dreams and aspirations
