Background

Foresight Group is a London-listed infrastructure and private equity asset manager founded in 1984, managing over £12bn in assets across infrastructure (solar, wind, battery storage, water), private equity buyouts and venture capital. Its venture and growth Arm, Foresight Ventures, invests in UK technology companies at Series A and B, typically alongside public co-investors including British Business Bank regional funds. The firm is listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker FSG and operates from offices across the UK and internationally .

Foresight's venture business benefits from the firm's established position as a responsible investment manager, giving it access to EIS and VCT fund structures alongside its institutional capital. Its regional focus in England and Scotland means it regularly participates in British Business Bank regional fund co-investments, bridging the gap between public economic development capital and private returns-seeking capital, a role made more significant since April 2026's VCT income tax relief reduction from 30% to 20% reduced retail-investor appetite for early-stage UK companies .
