UNICEF Ventures is the Ventures team within UNICEF's Office of Innovation, dedicated to turning frontier technology into solutions that improve children's lives. It runs the UNICEF Venture Fund, the United Nations' first financial vehicle of its kind, which makes equity-free early-stage and growth-stage investments in open-source technology built in emerging economies.
Its programme families include climate ventures, femtech ventures, and blockchain ventures, each supporting open-source solutions designed for low-resource settings. Beyond capital, the Fund provides mentorship to under-represented founders and strengthens local innovation ecosystems with the aim of delivering measurable social impact through the technologies its portfolio companies build.
