The venture division of Intel Capital will gain independence and change its name

Like most large corporations in the technology sector, Intel pays special attention to venture capital investments, supporting promising third-party developments that may be useful to it in the future. As part of the upcoming restructuring, the core division of Intel Capital will receive almost complete independence and change its name.

At the same time, the parent corporation Intel, as Bloomberg notes, will remain a key investor in the future investment fund created on the basis of Intel Capital. This subsidiary now manages more than $5 billion. Among other things, it once invested in the capital of the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Zeekr. Over the past three decades, Intel Capital has invested more than $20 billion in various companies. Traditionally, it has focused on areas of activity that were designed to contribute to the development of the personal computer and server infrastructure industries. At one time, Intel Capital also invested in ASML, Red Hat and VMware.

As an independent structure, Intel Capital will have more freedom in decision-making and will be able to attract additional funds from external sources. The separation of Intel Capital from the parent corporation will occur in the second half of 2025, at which time the venture division will begin operating under a new name. Until then, Intel Capital’s activities will continue as usual, and during the restructuring, the division’s team of employees will move to a new company.
