What can we be doing to better unlock traditional capital toward climate innovation? This morning our managing partner Arman Anatürk hosted a panel discussion at the HackSummit with four unique perspectives to discuss the approaches to attracting more capital towards climate tech. We heard about how Government backed funds like Invest-NL (Netherlands) and DTCF | DeepTech & Climate Fonds (Germany) have successfully mobilised billions in funding towards climate, and the opportunities and hesitations that single and multi-family offices see when viewing private market climate tech as part of their overall portfolio. From different frameworks to effectively evaluating scale-up risk and different mechanisms to raise and deploy capital, to better leveraging the deep industrial knowledge from family offices to being able to spot the best managers - there's plenty more work to be done to allow us to further unlock traditional capital towards climate. Overall we leave the discussion feeling optimistic that a shift in capital allocation is underway, and the next few years will see a noticeable increase in funding towards climate solutions. Thank you to our panelists: - Elisabeth Schrey of DTCF | DeepTech & Climate Fonds - Nelson Dumas of Eltenemo SA - Bastiaan Gielink of Invest-NL - Andrea Biscia, of DECALIA #HackSummit2024 #FamilyOffice #AssetManagement #Funding #PrivateEquity #PrivateMarkets

🔔 Essential guide to navigating the journey to scale: By Climate champions for Climate champions! Decarbonization is the greatest economic transition in a century and it's crucial to have a roadmap to shape these massive Climate Transition efforts. That's why Climentum Capital joined forces with ~50 leading climate tech companies and financial institutions to create The Climate Brick - the missing manual for scaling climate technologies. The Climate Brick rightly hypothesised that it is necessary to harness the success frameworks of today's leading European climate tech companies to build a greener future while avoiding common pitfalls. The current climate tech capital allocation process is evidently chaotic and opaque. That's another key challenge these frameworks are trying to solve. This invaluable resource offers a meticulously crafted, category-by-category approach, drawing from the analysis of over 3,000 companies and consultations with 100+ pioneers, to identify seven distinct company profiles (from Giga Scaling projects like NorthVolt to Moonshot projects like Marvel Fusion) - or bricks - guiding the path to scalability. The Climate Brick is just getting started! Stay tuned for more scaling frameworks. #ClimateTech #Decarbonization #ImpactAtScale Doerte Hirschberg Malin Carlstrom Stefan Maard Morten Halborg
