About

Siemens Energy Ventures is the entrepreneurial heart of Siemens Energy. Founded in 2020, our focus is on investing, building and piloting ventures that will transform energy systems and will help fight climate change.

Providing sustainable, reliable and affordable energy for all is how we energize society. Energy is our global lifeblood; powering homes, operating transport systems, run our healthcare systems and enabling industries to function. It sets our quality of life. But right now, to deliver the energy demands of tomorrow and reach our net zero goals on time, our energy systems need to change and become more sustainable today.
