(23 October 2026, Seoul) Templewater is pleased to announce that Templewater Decarbonization I, L.P. (the “Fund”), which it manages under its pan-Asia technology investment strategy, has been selected to receive a commitment under Korea Venture Investment Corporation’s (KVIC) 2026 Foreign VC Investment Fund Programme (FVCIF).
The selection marks an important milestone for Templewater’s technology investment platform and provides a foundation for deeper collaboration with Korean entrepreneurs, investors and industry partners.
Templewater’s technology strategy focuses on deep-tech in industries where Asia’s extensive supply chains and mature advanced manufacturing capabilities provide structural advantages. In line with this strategy, the Fund targets investments in businesses that combine differentiated technology with clear commercial applications, across areas such as AI infrastructure, advanced semiconductors, automation and energy technologies. Through hands-on value creation and strategic networks, Templewater partners with entrepreneurs to accelerate commercialization, build international partnerships, access new customers and scale their businesses globally.
Building on its established Pan-Asia investment platform and international networks, Templewater brings more than capital to the Fund’s portfolio companies. The firm combines operational expertise and strategic relationships to help entrepreneurs translate technological innovation into commercially scalable businesses.
KVIC’s selection of the Fund marks a further step in Templewater’s long standing commitment to investing across Asia and strengthening cross-border partnerships. Looking ahead, Templewater intends to deepen its engagement with Korea’s venture ecosystem and pursue further collaboration with Korean entrepreneurs, investors and industry partners, connecting local innovation with regional growth opportunities and international markets.
