Our Vision

We envision a world where climate technology transforms industries, cuts emissions, and drives lasting impact. By backing Europe’s top climate tech companies, we accelerate scalable, measurable decarbonisation globally.

Our Investment Approach

World Fund is dedicated to identifying and supporting early- to growth-stage companies across Europe that demonstrate high Climate Performance Potential (CPP) – our proprietary benchmark that targets a minimum impact threshold of 100 Mt CO₂ emissions avoided annually. We focus on high-impact sectors, including:

  • Energy and Build Environment: Renewable energy innovations, energy efficiency technologies, and sustainable construction.
  • Food & Agriculture: Alternative proteins, sustainable agricultural methods, and regenerative food systems.
  • Transportation: Electrification, sustainable mobility, and advanced battery solutions.
  • Digital Technologies: Quantum computing, AI, and other digital innovations that enable climate-positive applications.

Our typical investments range from €1-15M, with the aim of taking 10-20% ownership, often accompanied by active board roles to provide hands-on support and guidance.

What We Bring to SMEs

World Fund goes beyond financial support, offering strategic resources to help companies reach their full climate impact potential. Our CPP methodology helps investee companies optimise their carbon reduction goals, ensuring they meet the highest standards for climate impact. Our portfolio companies benefit from our deep climate tech expertise and access to our extensive network of over 200 investors and advisors who offer insights in science, policy, and technology. Additionally, our team’s expertise in scaling technology and navigating regulatory landscapes, combined with follow-on funding reserves, enables us to support companies through key growth stages, empowering them to make a measurable impact on global decarbonisation.

If you are an SME with an innovative climate tech solution that aligns with our vision, we invite you to connect with us. Reach out directly at ‍brightfuture@worldfund.vc, or visit our website at worldfund.vc to learn more about how we can work together to drive meaningful change.
