Investor Day 2025: Catalysing Deep Tech Innovation in Asia Growth Markets

2025.10.29

Global investment is entering a new industrial cycle built around clean energy, reindustrialization, and supply chain resilience. The question is whether this wave of capital can translate into real performance, and we believe deep tech sits at the center of that challenge.

On 29 October in Singapore, we hosted Antares Investor Day, bringing together LPs, investors, founders, and our teams to explore that very question. This inaugural Antares Annual Investor Day was held alongside Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) and Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) in EDB Office, Singapore. We did a deep dive into our thesis-driven deep tech investment strategy and showcased global innovation that can address Asia’s biggest structural and sustainability challenges.

In his remarks, our Founder & Managing Partner Michael Gryseels outlined how global capex is structurally shifting toward clean energy and industrial transformation and how our playbook turns that momentum into performance through disciplined selection, active value creation, and defined exit pathways.

Over the past year, Antares has built a strong institutional platform with thesis-driven investments across ten portfolio companies (with one exit), backed by a growing base of strategic partners, investors, teams, and advisors. We were fortunate to have them in our events, including many of our global founders who joined us from as far as Canada, the UK, Germany and India.

We also thank Singapore Global Network (SGN) and Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) for their support in hosting the event and Jacqueline Chia (Deputy General Manager, SG Growth Capital) for the wonderful welcome address.

Such a diverse gathering is a reflection of our global mandate and how our value-creation model connects frontier innovation with Asia Growth Markets. And this is only the beginning! Onward!
