Alexandria Venture Investments Ramps Investment Activity

Pasadena-based Alexandria Venture Investments, the venture arm of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, says that has been ranked as one of the year's top five most active U.S. investors in the "agrifoodtech" sector. According to the company, it is on track to double its investment activity this year. The company says it invests in companies that improve human health and nutrition, as well as those companies that are combating climate change through sustainable agriculture technologies and practices. Alexandria Venture Investments did not say how much it invested last year or this year in companies. The investors said that the increase in its activity has been driven by the increase in private capital that has flowed into the sector from climate change-focused funds.
