Avery Dennison Corporate Venture Capital Program

Our corporate venture capital program invests and commercially partners with emerging technology and materials science companies. The program is designed to support entrepreneurs working on innovative, disruptive technologies, which will support our business strategies, providing value to our customers and strategic partners.

We can partner with entrepreneurs in many ways, including minority equity investments, joint development agreements, non-recurring engineering projects, reseller relationships, and other forms of strategic technical and commercial partnerships.

Our goal is to combine the best of both worlds: disruptive technology and entrepreneurial thinking with operational excellence at a global scale.
