2023’s biggest tech deals are all climate infrastructure

As we face the enormous challenge of achieving net zero, it's reassuring to know that the investment required to make the transition is flooding in across Europe. 69% of the capital in the largest 20 tech deals have been in to climate tech companies, a shift from the fintech dominance in 2022. Highly capital intensive climate infrastructure companies and projects are also pulling investment from a broad variety of sources rather than purely VC, with asset managers, state banks, pension funds and PE firms investing heavily.

Once significant investment lands, that's typically when founders can then scale their teams and where we come in. We're proud to partner with a number of the business's in the top 10 best funded tech firms and are motivated by playing our part in their success by finding exceptional leadership talent.

If you're a cleantech business scaling your leadership team, we've worked with some of the most innovative cleantech scale-ups to hire key team members, please get in touch to discuss how Hyperion can help.

Startups building climate infrastructure — things like battery manufacturing and sustainable materials production — have dominated the largest deals of the year in Europe, Sifted analysis shows.  The four largest equity deals so far this year in the region have gone to climate infrastructure companies: H2 Green Steel, which is developing steel manufacturing using hydrogen, Northvolt, a battery manufacturer, Zenobe Energy, which is developing charging infrastructure, and Verkor, another battery manufacturer.
