The report “Investing in Net Zero – Assessing Germany’s venture capital potential in climate tech” highlights the investment opportunities for building and developing new climate technology startups that could deliver impactful technologies across all sectors of the economy in Germany. The analysis draws on detailed market forecasts to identify opportunities for climate tech entrepreneurs and venture capital funds.
Start-up and growth financing can help significantly shorten the technology maturity cycle of new climate tech companies. In addition to promoting climate action, these technologies also offer significant market opportunities, enabling private and public venture capitalists to capitalize on the rapidly expanding and highly innovative market for climate technologies. This is especially true as the federal government’s Corona Reconstruction Fund supports infrastructure that will accelerate the scaling of climate tech companies, including charging infrastructure for electric cars, as well as hydrogen infrastructure.
