About Cognova Partners

Cognova Partners was founded by an international alliance of investors and domain experts who believe that breakthrough ideas—backed by strategic capital and contextual intelligence—can redefine industries. In a rapidly evolving world, we focus on one thing: making bold, intelligent investments that matter.

Our virtual-first team spans multiple time zones and disciplines—from AI researchers to green tech strategists and startup ecosystem builders. With a presence across Europe, Africa, and now expanding into the Middle East, we bring the right combination of vision and local expertise to every venture.

We’re not just backing companies—we’re enabling ecosystems. And we do it by aligning purpose with capital, and innovation with opportunity.

This is our work. This is Cognova.
