We exist to harness this power of human spirit to innovate and create positive impact. To build new business ventures that help us reach our potential and develop pioneering ideas that influence meaningful change.
Our story
The genesis of Nupo Ventures stemmed from Olam’s ambition to establish new businesses that leverage its expertise in food and agriculture, while embracing the twin pillars of sustainability and digital innovation to foster disruptive ideas. As part of this journey, five new ventures were launched.
In 2022 Olam Group was reorganised.
Today, our focus is on driving financial returns for our shareholders through the development of a portfolio of investable and scalable new ventures. We work closely with Olam Group entities and strategic partners, leveraging our extensive experience and market knowledge to support our ventures in achieving success.
