€50 billion short ─ The issue (and opportunity) behind Europe's cleantech investment gap is clear: 🌱 Europe's Cleantech Potential: Unlocked or Unleashed? Europe's cleantech innovation is world-class, but the financial backing? Not quite there yet. According to a report by Cleantech for Europe, the EU is struggling to combine the might of private + public investment needed to catch up with US and Asia. 🚀 The Investment Gap Revealed: Needing €92 billion for key technologies, Europe faces a daunting €50+ billion shortfall. The stakes? Our industrial future and climate goals. 💡 The Global Race Accelerates: As the US and China inject massive funds into cleantech, Europe's investment landscape appears timid. Are we in danger of falling behind? 💰 A Silver Lining in Venture Capital: With €11 billion already in play, the foundation is there. But to truly compete, Europe needs to supercharge its investment efforts. 📈 Creating a Cleantech Powerhouse: Imagine a Europe where cleantech drives economic competitiveness and energy independence. It's possible, but only with bold investment strategies. 🔗 Transforming Challenge into Opportunity: The €50 billion gap isn't just a problem; it's Europe's biggest opportunity to lead the green transition. Are investors ready to step up? Because when there is a funding gap, there is arbitrage opportunity to deploy capital efficiently and reap the long term benefits. #Cleantech #Climatetech #Deeptech #LimitedPartners #FamilyOffices #VentureCapital 👇 Can Europe become the global leader in climate hardware tech?

Scale within a few, or Collaborate at Scale? Yes, within Europe we could create a few of those 'One to rule them all"-types of unicorns. Or by something that feels fitting with Europe, by collaborating at scale, we create something equally big and more resilient in the process. "European firms need to focus on scale to stay competitive globally. The need for bold action is urgent, as large European companies are falling behind in investments and innovation compared to their US counterparts. Reforming the single market and implementing a common regulatory regime could help address these challenges." #innovation #energy #makeinnovationhappen

On October 17th we are going to attend the Private Wealth Forum 2023 in #munich hosted by the Markets Group.   We are looking forward to insightful discussions and input on financial investment strategies.   For us the key topic will be: ➡ How does the emerging #climatetech investment opportunity fit into an overall investment portfolio, with respect to opportunities, risks and frameworks?   One thing is clear: #decarbonization and #circulareconomy are relevant and secular megatrends – because of client demand, regulatory requirements and geopolitical considerations. 💡   #sustainablefinance accelerates and backs the #energytransition, whilst enormous profit potential is unlocked. 📈   Looking forward to seeing you in Munich! ⏯ Watch Jobst v.
