We often hear the narrative that the #ClimateTech sector lacks large, successful #exits, but is that truly the case? After taking a closer look at the last two years of climate tech exit activities, the data reveals that the sector is delivering on its promise despite challenging conditions. Focusing on M&As, IPOs, and SPACs of VC/PE-backed companies, here’s what we found: 📊 As of November 2024, 222 climate tech exit deals were recorded year-to-date, closely mirroring the 247 deals seen during the same period in 2023. 🌐 Despite challenging market conditions in 2024, climate exit activity in Q2 and Q3 showed strong resilience. 🇪🇺 🇺🇸 Over 60% of climate tech exit deals are driven by Europe and the US. The two regions continue to offer strong exit opportunities. ⚡🚚 #Energy and #transportation companies dominate the largest climate tech exit deals, highlighting their leadership in the sector. 🦄 Globally, there are over 100 climate tech #unicorns, representing the next wave of climate tech companies on track to achieve high-value exits. The climate tech sector is demonstrating strength, adaptability and potential, even amid uncertainty. It continues to show that creating real impact and achieving strong returns is not only possible but increasingly feasible. #ClimateVC #VentureCapital #Exits Note: This post has been updated to reflect the latest news.

Congrats to FTEX, Blue Vision Capital first investment - great news!
Merci au C3E pour votre appui à notre mission et pour votre accueil chaleureux au sein de votre réseau! C’est avec beaucoup d’émotion que FTEX reçoit l'emblématique castor C3E. Symbole de construction et de résilience, le castor représente parfaitement l’esprit dans lequel, jour après jour, nous travaillons pour construire un transport plus conscient de son impact sur le climat. Notre solution, qui propulse la mobilité électrique, est bénéfique pour le climat, la santé et la réduction de la congestion, et elle est déjà déployée avec succès à grande échelle! Ce même esprit bâtisseur a inspiré les membres fondateurs du C3E, Rio Tinto et Hydro Québec grands constructeurs québécois, qui voient aussi en FTEX un acteur clé et innovant de la transition énergétique au Québec.

As we look toward another Trump administration, US federal climate policies could face significant challenges, with potential rollbacks on clean energy support and environmental regulations. Yet history shows that private capital has the power to step up and drive climate innovation in the face of political headwinds, as we saw in the first Trump term. Check out this article to see some great insights from fellow climate VCs on how Trump’s return could be an opportunity for climate investments: https://lnkd.in/gnreRmN9 Now, more than ever, private capital must lead the charge in climate innovation. The timing to invest in climate initiatives couldn’t be better. #ClimateTech #ClimateAction #ClimateInvesting #Sustainability #Innovation

We celebrated Earth Day with a clean-up! This year, World Earth Day’s theme is “Planet vs Plastic” to bring attention to the serious issue of plastic pollution and how it harms nature. Plastic is a central component of our life — it helps us preserve food, insulate constructions, use electronics, and more. Driven by #economicgrowth, plastic production hit 441 million tons of plastic in 2022, compared to 2 million in 1950. Despite all the benefits, plastic seriously harms the environment when disposed: 1️⃣ 9% is recycled 2️⃣ 12% is incinerated 3️⃣ 79% is disposed in landfills or the natural environment Derived from petroleum, plastics are non-biodegradable and persist in natural environments: when they decompose, they create #microplastics that harm the environment, wildlife, and human health. At Blue Vision Capital , we invest in innovative and disruptive climate tech startups to shape a better future for all. Our commitment to preserving the Planet is strong, and we only support startups that help reduce global #GHGemissions. This year, our team did a #cleanup session in the most popular park of Montreal. Although it seemed clean, most plastics found were small pieces left by park visitors and were hidden between grass leaves and buried in the soil. Let’s all take action to protect and preserve our planet — it is a global responsibility. 🌎 Source: United Nations, Statista #EarthDay #BlueVisionCapital #OceanProtection #ImpactInvesting #VentureCapital #VC #Investissements #TechnologiesPropres #ClimateTech #Montreal #Canada
