“Our best chance to fight climate change and remain under +1.5°C of global warming is by reaching Net Zero Emissions by 2050”
Fatih Birol
|
CEO of the IEA
The current emissions mostly derive from our ever increasing consumption of energy, which still relies on fossil fuels at +80%.
Also experts have warned about the fact that conventional solutions won’t be enough to reach our objectives meaning that major breakthroughs must emerge fast.
Leading VC investor transforming the energy sector
Many key strategic investments are required to reshape the energy system, and the IEA estimates that 70% must come from the private sector. Our mission is to bridge the gap between announced commitments and the capital truly needed to achieve Net Zero by 2050.
We focus on three complementary verticals: Energy Efficiency & AI, driving smarter systems, reduced consumption, and cost-competitive solutions; Energy Storage, enabling reliable integration of renewables and securing supply; and New Nuclear, offering a reliable, decarbonized baseload and innovation opportunities to enhance safety, sustainability, and resilience.
With Europe’s leadership in clean energy policy and technology, and the growing support for diverse decarbonization pathways, now is the right time to back the next generation of climate tech ventures across these three verticals.

Inspire the World by Making Europe a Leader in the Energy Transition
Europe has all the ingredients to lead the global shift to a decarbonized economy: world-class engineers, a legacy of energy innovation, and a fast-maturing ecosystem of entrepreneurs and investors. By channeling capital into the right ventures, we can accelerate the energy transition while delivering strong and sustainable returns. Our ambition is to make Europe not just a participant, but a model for how innovation and investment can drive lasting climate impact.
Our Founders
Charles Beigbeder
Co-Founder / Managing Partner
We consider the challenge of the energy transition as a unique opportunity to create and expand new energy leaders. Only deeptech technology will allow us to achieve climate neutrality that has been called for by the Paris Agreement. Exergon's mission is to identify these solutions, stimulate their development and help the most promising to deliver their full potential to the World.
Giuseppe Sangiovanni
Co-Founder / Managing Partner
Ongoing climate change urges us to go faster on the global path to net zero emissions. For this we need to accelerate the energy transition using innovative technologies and Europe leads the way in developing these technologies. We are eager to push further the European leadership on clean energy innovation!
Anna Teyssot
Co-Founder / Managing Partner
Electrification is the backbone of the energy transition — from mobility to industry. Building efficient solutions and scaling European deeptech are key to climate impact and long-term competitiveness.
