Amazonia Impact Ventures (AIV) returned to BIOFACH2026 in Nuremberg, joining global investors, innovators, and mission‑driven businesses shaping the future of climate finance and sustainable agriculture.

At Davos 2026, Amazonia Impact Ventures shows how nature‑positive finance turns pledges into projects: 42 impact‑linked loans, 5,200 smallholder farmers supported, and 200,000+ hectares under sustainable management.

At Amazonia Impact Ventures, we see this as a roadmap: align capital, scale bioeconomy solutions, and empower communities to keep forests standing.

Amazonia Impact Ventures has joined the UK PACT programme’s first field mission to Peru’s Amazon, launching a £1.18 million drive to strengthen value chains for non‑timber forest products such as aguaje and camu camu.
