Energy Storage
Why we backed Sinergy Flow
Zinc-sulfur redox flow for long-duration storage: power and energy scaled independently, without critical minerals.
Energy Storage aulium podcastEurope is not out of the battery race
Anna Teyssot on the aulium podcast: Europe's growing power gap, what it takes to go from a PowerPoint to a gigafactory, technical due diligence as a test of mindset, and where Europe can win in batteries.

New Nuclear
Why we backed Blue Capsule
Industrial heat up to 750°C without a water source: a Na/Air exchanger built for hydrogen, cement and hard-to-abate heat.
Energy Storage
Why we backed VoltR
AI characterisation of used cells to rebuild performance-matched stacks: circular batteries, European resource autonomy.
New Nuclear
Why we backed Stellaria
A compact molten-salt AMR that renews 100% of its fuel in operation, recycling spent fuel and cutting the need for fresh uranium.
New Nuclear TeleborsaENEA and Exergon partner on advanced nuclear
A five-year agreement for joint scouting of SMRs and Gen IV advanced reactors. For Giuseppe Sangiovanni, Europe's nuclear revival depends on research, industry and investors working together.

New Nuclear: strengthening the sector’s appeal to investors
Second edition of our white paper on SMRs, AMRs and fusion: why the nuclear sector is shifting from bespoke megaprojects to standardised products, and why private capital is becoming its new engine.

Why we reinvested in Otrera
Otrera has raised €17 million to take its fourth-generation sodium-cooled fast reactor into detailed design. We backed the team from day one, and we are doubling down alongside EDF and leading French nuclear industrials.

Energy transition
Everyone talks about AI. Few talk about the electricity it needs.
Data centres, electrification and reindustrialisation are driving structural power demand in Europe. The bottleneck is not only capital, but capital paired with deep technical expertise.
Energy transitionElectrification is a system transformation, not just more electrons
France is accelerating electrification, with around €10 billion a year of public support. The real challenge is the system around it: baseload power, storage and smarter demand.
New NuclearAfter the Paris summit: private capital is the missing link for new nuclear
Europe is turning back to nuclear, and public guarantees are a start. Turning European reactor innovation into industrial reality now depends on specialised private capital.
