In Europe... Driving innovation in Climate-Tech
Startup Basecamp

Our aim is to cultivate a network that not only fosters shared passion but also strengthens vision and empowers the next generation of Climate-Tech leaders.

Critical Capital Partners
Expanding the scope of our investors to accelerate capital allocation.
After engaging with the Family Office community, we discovered their interest in Climate & Industrial -Tech investments but noted their difficulty entering this market, dominated by top-tier venture capital firms and funds.
Our strong relationships with founders and these venture capital and funds provide us with co-investment opportunities.
Recognizing the need to assist Family Offices, we are excited to open up these opportunities and integrate more Family Offices into this exclusive investor circle.
Our focus now shifts towards enhancing Family Offices'exposure and reach within the private industrial Technology and Infrasrtucture market environment.
Moving forward, we want to extend this exclusive relationship with you.

Why re-industrializing the real economy matters now?
Capital is moving back to the real economy. Global capital markets are entering a multi-decade shift toward tangible assets in real infrastructure and industry after decades dominated by intangible investments.
Strategic Context
We are entering a hard-asset supercycle:
a structural reallocation of capital into the physical economy — real assets, infrastructure, and production capacity. A $15T global infrastructure gap by 2040 and $68T projected demand mark the scale of this cycle.
Where We Focus
We invest where two systemic forces intersect:
Macro Market drivers such as security, resilience and sovereignty, and Planetary drivers such as climate adaptation and resource resilience. Where these forces converge, structural opportunities emerge: technologies that turn stress into advantage and scarcity into value.
I.Macro market drivers:
Security and defense mobilisation
$2.72T global military spend in 2024, about 2.5% of world GDP; NATO 2% targets support multi year budgets.
De globalisation and industrial policy
$280B US CHIPS and Science Act; €390B EU Net Zero Industry plan; reshoring and friendshoring accelerate.
Re industrialisation & energy abundance
$68T infrastructure needed through 2040 with a $15T shortfall; grid upgrades and storage growing at high double digits; the EU imports about 98% of rare earths.
Allocation shifts and access
Institutions allocate about 4.3% to private infrastructure versus 5 to 6% targets; high quality co investment access remains concentrated, creating room for disciplined family capital.
II.Planetary forces:
The scientific data are not looking good. Our planet is warming faster than expected!
The consequences are very expensive for everyone….
So much still need to be done...
to limit GHG Emissions and global temperature increase!

Our Thesis
Targeting the Four Pillars of the Real Economy
Our thesis is anchored in first principles: every society depends on energy, food, materials, and security. These are the foundations of civilisation and resilience — sectors where demand never stops. By investing in these systems, families capture resilient, risk-adjusted long-term returns while financing the backbone of future prosperity
