InBC Investment Corp. is a government-owned investment fund based in British Columbia with a $500 million endowment. The corporation invests in early-stage private companies and venture capital funds that support economic growth while delivering social and environmental benefits for the province. Guided by a framework that balances people, planet and profit, InBC operates independently and focuses on long-term commitments that advance reconciliation, promote equity, address climate change and foster regional development. Each investment is evaluated against social and environmental criteria alongside financial metrics.
InBC seeks opportunities across all regions of British Columbia that align with its impact objectives: driving climate action, innovating for the future, advancing reconciliation and building inclusive communities. By offering both direct capital and fund investments, the fund partners with entrepreneurs and fund managers who emphasize measurable outcomes and sustainable models. InBC aims to strengthen the local capital pool and support ventures with deep connections to the province, pursuing investments that deliver returns and positive community impact.
A key focus for InBC is clean technology, including backing innovations in the battery supply chain. Direct investments include Mangrove Lithium, which refines lithium through a low-carbon, waste-free process; Svante Technologies, supporting its production of nanoengineered filters that capture carbon from industrial emissions; and Arca Climate Technologies, which uses ultramafic rocks to capture and permanently store carbon dioxide. InBC also participates in Active Impact Fund III, a seed-stage climate fund that scales emerging technology firms in the clean energy and electrification sectors. This blend of direct and indirect support strengthens the ecosystem for low-carbon technologies in British Columbia.
