ENGIE New Ventures

ENGIE New Ventures serves as the strategic investment arm of the ENGIE Group, dedicated to building the low-carbon energy infrastructure of tomorrow through its comprehensive Research & Innovation division. The fund identifies promising technologies and business models that align with the global energy transition, providing not only capital but also access to ENGIE's extensive industrial expertise and market presence. By strategically investing in early to growth-stage companies, ENGIE New Ventures helps accelerate the commercialization of innovative solutions that address critical challenges in renewable energy generation, energy efficiency, and sustainable infrastructure development.

The investment approach centers on a collaborative methodology that combines internal expertise with external partnerships to drive innovation forward. ENGIE's team conducts thorough technical and market assessments of potential portfolio companies, evaluating both immediate commercial applications and long-term strategic alignment. The fund typically focuses on Series A through C funding rounds, with investments ranging from €1-10 million, targeting companies with proven technologies ready for industrial-scale deployment across global markets.

Research programs are developed and executed across ENGIE's network of four specialized R&D laboratories, each focusing on distinct technological domains critical to the energy transition. These facilities serve as innovation hubs where internal researchers collaborate with portfolio companies, academic institutions, and industry partners to test, validate, and refine emerging technologies. This hands-on approach ensures that investments are not only financially sound but also technically viable and market-ready, with particular emphasis on solutions that can be applied to ENGIE's own industrial installations or those of its customers and partners.

Since its inception, ENGIE New Ventures has built a diverse portfolio spanning key sectors including distributed renewables, smart energy systems, hydrogen technologies, and energy storage solutions. The fund maintains a global investment scope with particular activity in Europe, North America, and select emerging markets where energy transition presents significant opportunities. By bridging the gap between promising innovations and large-scale implementation, ENGIE New Ventures plays a crucial role in accelerating the deployment of technologies that enable decarbonization while creating sustainable value for both the parent company and its investment partners.
