Shifting energy transition into a higher gear

Europe is racing against two clocks at once: geopolitical and climate. The answer to both runs through the same channel: electrification. The more Europe electrifies, the less it imports.

The less it imports, the more economically resilient it becomes.

Junction offers late-stage VC, growth and buyout capital for European SMEs and scale-ups that enable the electric era or protect our resources. Not ideas. No early-stage bets. Proven technologies and services that already work and need scaleto deliver their full impact.

We bring a lot more to the table than capital. Our founding team has built companies that successfully scaled, raised capital and eventually exited, all while avoiding more than one million tonnes of CO₂ per year at their peak.

We know what it takes to scale a company in Europe with a network that has a global reach.

Our Scope

Junction has strong roots in Climate change mitigation through Electrification, but equally supports Climate change adaptation through adjacent technologies.

We back SMEs and scale-ups which offer enabling technologies or services to achieve these objectives. We do not directly invest in infrastructure ourselves, but are open to co-investment set-ups here.

We provide late-stage venture, growth and buyout capital to companies which are headquartered in Europe. We do not invest in early-stage VC or companies with a TRL below 9.

Investment themes

Climate change mitigation

Climate change adaptation

Distributed Generation

Decentral assets need faster and cheaper scaling to meet demand and cut exposure to physical attacks.

Sustainable Building Materials

Lower-carbon, higher-performance materials cut emissions, reduce cost and improve durability.

System Flexibility

Reliable renewable-heavy systems require optimal balancing of variability across time and location.

Cooling

Rising temperatures, data centres and electrification drive demand for efficient, low-carbon cooling.

Electrified Demand

Industry, businesses and consumers switch to electric as efficiency and economics outpace fossil.

Climate Modeling

Rising physical risk fuels demand for tools to proactively adapt to climate change.

E-mobility

Better infrastructure and competitive TCO drive adoption across consumer and commercial mobility.

Recycling & Waste

Circular systems cut resource use, secure scarce materials and meet regulatory requirements.

Next-Gen Grids

Grid operators must manage more complex systems while expanding capacity. High- and low-voltage grid-enhancing technologies grow network capacity without requiring new infrastructure.

Water Management

Water stress and infrastructure limits drive demand for efficiency and reuse technologies.

Impact

All of Junction’s investment themes do not only focus on direct economic prosperity but also have a mitigating impact on, or enable further adaptation to, climate change. We measure what we avoid. Not what we report.

In 2025, our portfolio companies avoided

1,699,036 tonnes of CO₂

more than doubling impact compared to the previous year (+101%).

Read our SFDR disclosure.

Most funds report on Scope 1, 2 and 3, their own operational carbon. We focus on Scope 4: the emissions our portfolio companies prevent from ever happening. That is the only number that matters.

We make this concrete at company level. With every portfolio company we agree on a limited set of material KPIs and track them over time.

Junction is classified as an Article 9 fund under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, the highest sustainability classification available. Every investment is screened on its contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation, assessed for EU Taxonomy alignment, and subjected to a Do No Significant Harm assessment.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Who are the investors of the Junction Growth Investors Fund?

Institutional investors, family offices, and entrepreneurs. We don’t have any corporates from the energy industry amongst our limited partners.

What is the typical investment ticket?

Our sweet spot is investment tickets between €5M and €10M, within a broader range going from €2M up to €17M.

What stage do you invest in?

We invest both early growth and buyout capital, typically as of Series B or beyond in case of a capital increase. We do not invest seed or early-stage capital. Our companies must have a proven commercial track record (TRL9).

Do you invest in infrastructure?

We do not invest directly in SPVs or infrastructure assets. Our focus is on enabling technologies , both hardware and software, and services that make the most of existing infrastructure. Given the infra-heavy nature of the energy transition, however, we are open to co-investing in hybrid structures at TopCo level.

What do we bring beyond money?

We bring a track record at the junction of creating value for shareholders and climate change mitigation. That’s the core of our playbook, which we’d love to share with you. We combine real-life entrepreneurial and investment experience within energy transition, and we have extensive knowledge of the workings of the energy industry, the wholesale energy market, and the related challenges, risks, hacks, and shortcuts.

What do you mean by 'policy independence'?

Every company we back must be commercially viable without subsidies or green premiums. The business case must stand on its own economics, cost, efficiency, market demand. If a company's model would collapse should policy support disappear, it is not a Junction investment.

Do you invest in companies outside electrification?

Electrification is our core. But we also invest in adjacent themes where the economics are proven and the connection to climate resilience is direct: sustainable building materials, cooling, water management, climate modelling and recycling. These sit in our outer ring, commercially viable, climate-relevant, and often synergistic with our electrification portfolio.

How do you measure impact?

We measure avoided emissions, the CO₂ that never gets emitted because of what our portfolio companies do. Not our own operational footprint. In 2025, our portfolio avoided 1,728,806 tonnes of CO₂. Full methodology: see our SFDR disclosure.

Are you currently fundraising?

Junction Fund I (€115M) is closed and being deployed. Fund II is in preparation. Please reach out directly if you would be interested in further information.

Are you an Article 9 fund?

Yes. Sustainable investment is the fund's primary objective, which is what the Article 9 classification requires. In practice: climate mitigation and adaptation contribution, EU Taxonomy alignment and a Do No Significant Harm assessment are part of every due diligence, and our reporting follows a formal framework rather than self-declared claims.
