  The Fund, founded in February 2008 by SAP – Founder Prof. Hasso Plattner and MAN Ferrostaall, will build, hold and manage a portfolio of investments that have a unique innovative offering either based on the business model, product offering or underlying technology. Technology Investments should have an emphasis on telecommunications, mobile applications, media and software as well as clean technology investments such as renewable energy, energy-saving concepts and similar business segments in early stages of their development with the focus of their activities predominantly in South Africa and other emerging markets.
  Over and above the capital injection and the active management support,HPVA's other value add and key differentiator is the national and international network access provided by its investors, investment committee members and not the less, its management team. Companies with international expansion strategies will be the core target market for the Fund.
