At Norrsken Barcelona, we co-hosted a panel on energy independence in Europe together with Future Energy Ventures and SET Ventures.
Sabanci Climate Ventures Investment Associate Alessa Sänger represented us at the conference and connected with founders, investors and ecosystem partners working to shape Europe’s energy future.
The discussion brought together investors, ecosystem stakeholders and an engaged audience to explore what Europe needs to accelerate the energy transition while strengthening its strategic independence.
Key takeaways from the panel included the importance of scaling proven solutions today while continuing to invest in tomorrow’s breakthroughs, the role of public de-risking and long-term certainty in unlocking private capital, and the need for Europe to retain its startups and knowledge instead of losing them abroad.
At Sabanci Climate Ventures, this is precisely how we invest: backing the breakthroughs of tomorrow, including fusion and geothermal, while also supporting ambitious founders scaling today’s solutions, such as solar and distributed energy resources in the residential space.
We are actively looking for more outstanding teams to invest in, leveraging our operator insights and ability to deploy innovations at scale.
