Investment thesis

Minority stakes in startups with proven technology or business models entering growth (Series A or B) that fit one or more ENGIE business units, each backed by a collaboration roadmap (pilot on ENGIE operations, then industrialisation on its assets); divests once strategic goals are met and recycles the capital. Focus: renewable power, low-carbon gases, power grid infrastructure, heating and cooling infrastructure, decarbonisation of industry, buildings and cities, energy management.
