Cleantech

The prospects for cleantech venture capital investments are excellent. There is a strong investment demand, due to the need for new sustainable technologies that optimise the use of natural resources and reduce environmental impact. Continuous innovation drives down the cost of clean technologies. Cleantech start-ups are maturing and proceed from the technology development phase to the commercialisation phase.

The cleantech mergers and acquisitions market is strong, as many multinationals are seeking opportunities to add sustainable alternatives to their current technology base.

Increasingly, investors appreciate the sector’s need for financial support, as well as its growth potential. To capitalise on this favourable investment climate, Gimv set up a dedicated cleantech division.

Gimv not only offers financial support, but also helps its portfolio companies develop strategic relationships, encouraging growth and expansion and guiding them through various financing rounds. Investee companies can rely on Gimv’s network of technology entrepreneurs, industry experts and international venture capitalists, who can help them accelerate their growth.

Beyond national boundaries

Companies in need of venture capital no longer rely on local investors only. Operating in one of the most globalised sectors, they build on the support of venture capitalists that operate internationally.

Gimv responds to this evolution by continuously expanding its geographical scope. With local offices in various countries, Gimv can pursue interesting investment opportunities in cleantech businesses in Europe and beyond. Gimv’s growing internationalization reflects the company’s ambition of attracting the best deals as a top tier European venture capital provider.
