Time and again, entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists, and businesses have found new ways forward, creating products, technologies, and services that reshape industries and societies.
For instance, solar power cost less than a tenth in 2025 of what it did in 2010, turning what was a subsidized niche into the cheapest source of new electricity across most of the world.
Reading a human genome cost close to $100 million in 2001; it now costs a few hundred dollars — a rate of decline roughly a thousand times faster than Moore's Law.
The companies leading these transformations often become some of the defining success stories of their generation.
Today, many of the world's most pressing challenges are creating similar opportunities, from clean energy and resource efficiency to healthcare innovation and digital infrastructure.
"What often gets lost in the news cycle is that alongside every challenge, there are people and companies working on solutions - and some of them are head of the game, as they already have located and solved an important pieces of the puzzle. That's where we focus our attention", comments Philip Ripman, Portfolio Manager Storebrand Global Solutions, and adds;
“That is the essence of solutions investing: looking beyond the immediate headlines and identifying companies whose growth is supported by long-term structural trends".
