About this grant
Climentum Capital is a European venture fund investing in hard tech companies driving sustainable growth across energy, industry, and infrastructure. The fund backs early-stage, unhyped hard tech companies to build the industrial backbone of a resilient Europe, addressing the climate crisis through fundamental industrial transformation rather than incremental change. The fund focuses on B2B hard tech solutions with real decarbonization potential, investing across Europe with a core focus on the Nordics as a climate innovation hub and the DACH region as Europe's industrial heartland. As an Article 9 fund with a dual carry model, Climentum ties returns to verified climate impact and strict performance criteria, investing where emissions run deepest across Europe's highest-emitting industries.
