Asteks & Nexrone Launch Westure Ventures for Global Tech Growth

New Netherlands-based venture to invest in future-shaping technologies.

Asteks and Nexrone have launched Westure Ventures, a Netherlands-based investment firm committing over USD 30 million to transformative technologies that deliver real societal value.

Asteks, one of Türkiye’s most established industrial manufacturers, and Nexrone Global, a fast-growing technology innovator in Europe’s startup landscape, have jointly launched a new investment company—Westure Ventures—created to accelerate the development of next-generation transformative technologies.

Headquartered in the Netherlands, Westure Ventures plans to invest over USD 30 million within the next five years. Its investment focus spans future-defining sectors, including financial technologies (fintech), artificial intelligence (AI), manufacturing technologies, deeptech, space and aviation, and health technologies. Central to its mission is a commitment to support what the company describes as “Goodness Technologies”—ventures that deliver meaningful, positive impact for people and the planet.

Merging Innovation With Decades of Industrial Expertise

With nearly five decades of manufacturing leadership, Asteks ranks among the world’s top three companies in production technologies. Nexrone, meanwhile, has quickly emerged as a dynamic technology force in Europe, strengthening its position with an entrepreneurial vision and strong growth trajectory through partnerships with global and billion-dollar enterprises over the past three years.

By combining Asteks’ deep-rooted industrial know-how with Nexrone’s innovation strength, Westure Ventures aims to establish a true “smart money” model, offering not just capital, but strategic partnerships, global market access, and extensive technical expertise.

Investment Model: From Early Stage to Series A and Beyond

Westure Ventures intends to back startups across multiple stages—early-stage, Series A, and later funding rounds. In addition to financial potential, each opportunity will be evaluated for its positive contribution to humanity and long-term sustainability.

Co-founders Emre Akman (Chairman & CEO, Asteks) and Ersoy Soyer (Founder, Nexrone) outlined the company’s vision:

“At Westure, our focus is on bold entrepreneurs who think without limits. What matters most is how technology improves human life, simplifies everyday challenges, and inspires hope for the future. That’s why our investments center on technologies that create real value. Money can be deployed anywhere—but generating societal value requires a clear, purpose-driven strategy.”

First Investment Portfolio to Be Announced Soon

Westure Ventures will soon reveal its inaugural round of investments. Beyond funding, the firm aims to build a high-impact ecosystem by providing startups with commercialization pathways, strategic collaborations, and access to international networks—enabling them to scale across global markets.
