Overview

EIT InnoEnergy operates as part of the European Union's innovation infrastructure, investing in and supporting sustainable energy companies across the continent.

It works at a scale most accelerators do not: alongside capital, it convenes industrial value chains, which has made it a significant actor in European battery and hydrogen manufacturing efforts.

  • Industrial value chain building rather than only company support
  • Offices across several European countries
  • Education programmes producing energy sector talent
  • Access to European Union innovation funding structures

What They Look For

  • Companies working on energy storage, renewables, hydrogen, or efficiency

  • Teams able to work with industrial partners and regulators
  • Capital-intensive projects other investors find difficult
