Axeleo Capital Launches a Game-Changer: Introducing the €125M Green Tech Industry I Fund! 🌱💡

We are thrilled to announce a bold new chapter in our journey at Axeleo Capital! As we continue to expand our VC platform to fuel Europe’s most promising innovations, we are proud to unveil the “Axeleo Green Tech Industry I” (GTI I) fund, with an impressive €125 million raised in its first close. This new fund aims to finance the 1st factory of European industrial startups dedicated to the ecological transition.

With the GTI I fund, Axeleo Capital's goal is to support groundbreaking solutions. This isn't just another venture capital fund, it's a mission to foster the green industrial ecosystem of tomorrow.

In collaboration with our partners Bpifrance, Veolia Group & Credit Mutuel, we are determined to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of sustainable industry.

With a final target of €250m, GTI I is aiming to make 15 to 20 investments across Europe with lead tickets ranging from €3m to €10m in sectors such as energy (new renewable energies, storage, etc.), chemicals and materials (biomaterials, plastics recycling, etc.), agriculture and food (bio-based fertilizers and pesticides, etc.) and mobility (electric motors, decarbonization of air and sea transport, etc.).

We’re pleased to announce our first investment in Sweetch Energy, a pioneer in osmotic energy—a renewable and controllable energy source.

And with every event the family is growing - we are pleased to welcome Sandra Dubos, recently appointed as Investment Director.

We can't wait to share the stories of the trailblazing entrepreneurs and technologies that GTI I will support in the months and years to come.

The future is green, and we are ready to build it!

Stay tuned for exciting updates and first investment announcements.

The journey has only just begun! 🌿
