Guillaume has more than 20 years of experience in tech and green technologies as an investment banker and investor. Marc has over 16 years of experience in the automotive industry with Stellantis, covering roles in production, strategy, and international management.

Aiming to Boost the Green Tech Industry in Europe

The Green Tech Industry I fund has a target of €250 million. It plans to make 15 to 20 investments in Europe, with individual investments ranging from €3 million to €10 million. These investments will focus on sectors like:

In line with our values and our entrepreneurial DNA of supporting founders, this fund allows us to address a field of major innovations around decarbonisation, green technologies, and the renewal of industrial sectors in Europe.”
