Wilstar

Oslo, Norway

Wilstar is an Oslo-based impact platform associated with the Arne and Lise Wilhelmsen family office. It combines grants for non-commercial solutions, catalytic impact-first investments and commercial venture investments. Its social priorities include education, economic inclusion and female empowerment; its environmental and technology priorities include marine conservation, ocean innovation, sustainable buildings and health. The platform traces its origins to the family’s nonprofit social-impact activities and now publishes two distinct investment arms: Wilstar Innovate, focused on financial returns and sustainable technology, and Wilstar Impact Investing, focused on measurable social and environmental outcomes. Its public portfolio classifies philanthropy separately from investments. Norwegian company records separately identify Wilstar AS, organization number 918306870; the group website’s board is presented as a published Wilstar board rather than assumed to be this company’s statutory board.
