SEB Greentech VC

SEB Greentech Venture Capital invests in green technology, focusing on transformative ideas that promise substantial impact in reducing greenhouse gas emissions or in preventing transgression of the planetary boundaries.

We can invest in hardware, software and technology platform solutions across sectors ranging from renewable energy, energy storage, water and agricultural technology, circular business models, to waste management.

We expect companies to have tested and adapted their technology to real operating conditions, preferably with recurring revenue from key customers. SEB Greentech VC looks for teams with relentless dedication to their mission, ready to scale internationally.

Why SEB Greentech VC?

SEB Greentech Venture Capital started in late 2020 to address consequences of the climate crisis. We foresee a massive industry transformation in only two business cycles, with a need for the public and private sector to close an enormous investment gap to reach targets. We build on SEB's heritage to support entrepreneurship and nurture innovation. SEB have worked with venture capital investment since 1995 and have a business focus with strong emphasis on sustainability.

Facilitating that young greentech companies gain access to funding in an early stage is key for SEB.

Our investment philosophy

Based on our experience, we understand that investments in new green technologies take longer to develop and mature than traditional venture capital. We accommodate this through our direct equity, balance sheet investment structure, with a plan to triple our SEK 600 million mandate by 2030.

SEB Greentech Venture Capital provides capital to support technology development, growth and expansion. Initial investments are often SEK 10-40 million, and our structure allows continued commitment as long as we add value. We are active minority investors seeking board seats and operate across Europe, with a focus on the Nordic and Baltic markets. In addition to capital and our experienced team, we can draw on expertise from other parts of SEB, offering deep knowledge, broad skills and an international network.
