Investment Focus
AREAS WE LIKE -
We clearly focus on B2B sectors we understand and match our expertise, especially when driven by product-led growth, an excellent go-to-market strategy and based on software & technology at scale.
Mobility
Based on CASE driven changes, mobility is going through a huge transition and becoming a full interconnected system that will be decentral, carbon-neutral and digital. From electric transportation to on demand logistics and much improved last mile delivery services, future businesses will depend on next generation of advanced, reliable and sustainable mobility service, delivered with best-in-class customer experiences, based on an overall modernised infrastructure.
Energy
The future of energy generation is one of the most important part to steer the transition of our life and businesses to become a more sustainable society. It will be an interconnected, sector-coupled system at the heart of a fully carbon-neutral economy. Flexible energy generation, new storage capabilities, smart grids and intelligent distribution solutions with a completely digital customer experience will be at the heart of future scalable business models.
Enterprise SaaS
Every business runs on software, and nearly half of companies are running almost entirely on SaaS. We believe targeted sector specific solutions will deliver enormous value, support further process automation, help with customer intelligence to deliver best-in-class services. By focusing on a vertical market, companies can leverage sector knowledge, data driven insights and advances in deep tech to produce meaningful value and ROI in their industry segment.
