We support and invest in early-stage companies that disrupt the established ways how we generate, manage, and use energy. We believe that we must find new ways how to create connectivity between the physical and digital world in order to build the 21st century infrastructure to support how we live, move and work.
OUR STRATEGY
Seed and Pre-Seed
Digitally-driven
Collaborative
Tech-enabled
DACH region focus
Hands-on
WE LIKE AREAS SUCH AS
Energy
The energy system is becoming decentral, carbon-neutral and digital. Future business models need to be designed for flexible generation, new storage opportunities, smart distribution, and a completely digital customer experience.
The future of energy will be an interconnected, sector-coupled system at the heart of a carbon-neutral economy.
Mobility
The way we move individually will undergo dramatic changes. Electric transportation will be the norm, autonomous vehicles will become a reality, and sharing and on-demand solutions will be widespread alternatives to ownership. Moreover, logistics will evolve from a system that is largely focused on a single mode of transport to a fully integrated multimodal platform, with new services based on a modernized infrastructure.
Smart City
Continuing urbanization requires transformation of cities to overcome challenges such as inefficient use of resources, collapse of the transport system, and scarcity of space and pollution. Making cities smart by connecting all layers of a city using IoT sensors and collecting and analyzing data obtained from connected infrastructure and mobile devices will allow municipalities to cope with these challenges.
