INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Transformative Technologies­ for a sustainable future

We back European startups that develop Transformative Technologies which have the potential to fundamentally disrupt value chains in today’s major industry verticals and significantly improving the environmental impact. Technological advances in the IoT, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or robotics pave the way to create solutions that fundamentally change value chains in sectors that place a major burden on our planet and our communities.

Energy & Resources

Energy & Resources

With a growing world population, consumption of energy and resources is continuously increasing. Its impact on environment and societies becomes ever more apparent. To reduce our energy footprint and finally achieve the shift to renewables requires technologies for energy storage, efficiency, grid intelligence, and virtual utilities. Additionally, we need solutions to cope with our planet’s boundaries and limited resources while feeding 10 billion people by 2050 or covering the demand for freshwater.

Industry & Manufacturing

Industry & Manufacturing

The manufacturing industry loses billions each year through inefficient material consumption, waste, and manual reworking. Besides monetary losses, this also has a significant environmental cost. The continuously increasing connectivity of machines, devices, and humans driven by the IIoT, smart factories, flexible manufacturing, predictive maintenance, and digital twinning will make production processes more efficient, increase supply chain transparency, save energy and resources, and improve the quality of output.

Mobility & Logistics

Mobility & Logistics

Increasing mobility of people and goods around the globe provides room for innovation and new technologies. Autonomous cars, drones, and robots offer new means of transportation from the first to the last mile, and the sharing economy allows new business models for private and public organizations. Today, however, mobility accounts for a quarter of global carbon dioxide emissions. For the future, we need to lower the sector’s environmental footprint with e-mobility and alternative fuels, smart infrastructure, and new mobility concepts.

Building & Infrastructure

Building & Infrastructure

Buildings remain one of the major carbon emitters and consumers of energy and raw materials. While the sector has lagged behind in digitalization, emerging technology companies can lead the way to increase the climate resilience of buildings and infrastructure and simultaneously make them smart. Autonomous monitoring and controlling solutions allow for lower energy and water usage, and even during the construction phase efficiencies can be leveraged with solutions for information modelling, smart and sustainable materials, and digital project management.

TRIPLE TOP LINE

Achieving holistic value creation by targeting the Triple Top Line

With +15 years of experience in sustainable investing, we are confident that economic growth and sustainability matters are not trade-offs but mutually reinforcing factors.

The entrepreneurs we support strive for holistic value creation along the Triple Top Line of economic wealth, environmental prosperity, and social equity: they create solutions that enhance the well-being of nature and societies while generating economic value. Growing our investees along the triple top line, we are committed to actively contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
