SET has been Europe’s lead energytech VC since 2007. In that time, the energy transition has matured from a linear shift into a supercycle reshaping how we move, work and live. As energy evolves from hardwired, centralised technologies to digital systems, we need a new class of companies to boost efficiency and open new markets.
These are the companies we back. Those that shape the new digital energy economy.
Producing, optimising and storing energy where it’s used eases grid pressure and makes green energy abundant. Hyperlocal technologies are then critical to creating a system that keeps pace with electrification instead of holding it back.
Automation is the engine of the energy transition. Connecting millions of volatile assets in a dynamic system is challenging, but with automation, we can respond to price signals instantly, making innovation here paramount.
A trustworthy system must weather many challenges, from cyberattacks and physical vulnerabilities to data privacy risks. Solutions that address these issues are vital to make the digital energy economy dependable & scalable.
We’ve backed Europe’s most transformative energytech solutions for two decades. In that time, we have consistently leveraged our insight, network and drive to propel startups into market leaders.
With a portfolio of over 10 exits, we know precisely what it takes to scale in this industry. That’s why when we invest, we commit to being a long-term partner.
We invest in solutions that challenge traditional business models and accelerate Europe’s digital energy economy.
From cleaner ways to heat homes and power worksites, to improvements in electric mobility, to smarter ways to manage, optimise and balance the grid, our portfolio reflects the wide range of innovations needed to build a hyperlocal, automated and resilient energy system.
