Technology focus

Software, computing and the engineering behind physical systems. Explore the fields we follow and the practical questions that shape a technology business.

Our investment approach

Enterprise software

Software that changes how organisations run a process, use information and serve customers.

Business applications, data platforms, operational systems

Cybersecurity

Protection that can be deployed, operated and evaluated in a customer’s environment.

Identity and access, endpoint protection, security operations

Communications and networking

The connections and services that let devices, people and applications exchange information.

Communications software, video services, network infrastructure

Semiconductors and computing

Useful performance within the power, memory and production constraints of a complete system.

Chip architecture, embedded systems, design and test tools

Robotics and industrial technology

Machines that perform a physical task reliably in the conditions of the customer’s site.

Perception, automation, equipment and integration

Energy technology

Equipment and systems assessed from first test to installation and long term operation.

Power conversion, control systems, industrial deployment

Inside an inspection system

An inspection system brings optics, computing, software and physical equipment together. A faster processor is useful only if the complete system can identify the right detail and act on it reliably.

The same relationship between a component and its operating environment runs through our technology interests. Integration, maintenance and the customer’s way of working influence adoption as much as a result in the laboratory.
