As hashtagCOP30 approaches, one message is becoming clear: solving climate change isn’t just about deploying clean energy but also about building the intelligence layer that connects, scales, and optimises everything.
From emissions data and carbon accounting to supply chain transparency and energy forecasting, this “intelligence layer” is the core infrastructure enabling climate solutions to perform at scale.
At ETF Partners we’ve believed in this for two decades. That’s why we invest in companies redefining how systems work with intelligence, traceability, and adaptability built in.
In our current portfolio, many companies are featured in the Sifted 250, each contributing to this system-wide transformation, including Next Sense, Normative.io, HUBCYCLE, Open Cosmos, Hellas Direct, and Tomorrow.
However, these technologies only deliver when connected by data, intelligence, and insight.
This is where we focus — on the systems that drive faster, smarter, and more resilient climate outcomes.
And while we’re proud to be one of the only sustainability-focused firms in Sifted‘s Top 20 European VCs of 2025, we’re even prouder to work with and invest in founders who are building these solutions now.
