Our portfolio

EIT InnoEnergy’s equity holdings are managed following a portfolio management approach with the goal of maximising the return (economic/societal/environmental) given the chosen risk level. The risk taken is commensurate with a portfolio of early-stage and scale-up companies in sustainable energy. We invest mainly in disruptive, high-capex technologies but we also include in our portfolio capex-light business models, often involving IoT and artificial intelligence, which are also needed to complete the energy transition. The expertise of our teams and partners help us de-risk both types of companies.

We classify companies in our portfolio across seven thematic fields: Renewable Energies, Energy Storage, Smart Electric Grid, Smart and Intelligent Buildings and Cities, Energy Efficiency, Energy for Transport and Mobility and Circular Economy. For each thematic field we have designed a strategy that takes into account our vision of the market needs to achieve the energy transition targets set up by the EU. We also look at the sub-sectors where we see the best market opportunities. In addition, we are focused on three industrial value chains –batteries, green hydrogen and PVs – and on setting up new companies to decarbonise hard-to-abate industries.
