Frequently asked questions
Who makes investment decisions at EIT InnoEnergy?
The firm does not publicly name a single CIO or managing partner responsible for investment decisions. Its governance reflects its public-private architecture: a shareholder base of industrial partners (including Engie, TotalEnergies, Siemens Energy and Volkswagen Group) alongside the EIT. The investment process is run through a centralized team supported by sector-specific experts in energy storage, renewables, and decarbonising industry across its European office network.
How does EIT InnoEnergy source its proprietary deal flow?
Deal flow is generated through three proprietary channels. First, its leadership of the European Battery Alliance, the European Green Hydrogen Acceleration Center, and the European Solar PV Industry Alliance gives it an early look at supply-chain gaps. Second, its network of over 1,400 partners across industry, academia, and finance in 21 EU countries and the United States surfaces startups. Third, industrial shareholders such as Engie and TotalEnergies co-develop projects and refer opportunities.
Which sectors does EIT InnoEnergy explicitly cover?
The firm covers energy storage, energy for transport and mobility, decarbonising industry (cement, steel, chemicals), smart grids, renewable energy, circular-economy energy technologies, and energy efficiency. Its major structural focus involves building competitive European supply chains in batteries, solar photovoltaics, and low-carbon hydrogen.
