Greener buildings, bigger profits. Predium makes it happen. 🌿💸 Here’s the scoop: Nearly 40% of CO2 emissions come from real estate. That’s a HUGE chunk. That’s why real estate owners have to decarbonise. Those who do? Their property values can jump by up to a third. Those who don’t? They face drops of up to 40%. The catch? Decarbonising is often expensive and slow, leaving many buildings stuck in the past. But our latest portfolio company is here to change that. 🚀 Predium’s intelligence platform for real estate identifies the fastest, smartest, and most cost-effective ways to decarbonise buildings—boosting property value, slashing emissions, and proving that sustainability isn’t just good for the planet—it’s good business. 💰 We’re excited to welcome Jens Thumm, Maximilian Körner, Mohamed Ali Razouane and the rest of Predium to the Norrsken VC family! 🎉 🔗 Tech Funding News https://lnkd.in/eu3sWxef 🔗 Norrsken VC blog: https://lnkd.in/dnkUnbzM

AGM 2024 is now in the books! 🔥 Norrsken House Barcelona set the stage for a day full of reflection, celebration, and some seriously big ideas. We looked back on a wild year—closing Europe’s largest early-stage impact fund, doubling down on our key regions, and building the biggest impact portfolio on the market. Not bad. From cutting-edge insights to rockstar portfolio deep dives, it was a day that reminded us exactly why we do this. Susanna Campbell from Syre showed us how sustainable solutions can crush unsustainable ones. Magnus Drewelies spilled CEEZER's secret sauce for thriving in tough markets. And Pol Valls Soler gave us a front-row seat to how Submer is powering greener AI factories. If this year taught us anything, it’s this: Sustainability isn’t just a mega trend—it’s a mega demand, and it’s shaping the future of business in real time. Bring on 2025. 🚀
