Energy – It is the world's largest industry and the global demand for energy continues to rise. A strong momentum for change has been created by concerns about global warming, dependency on foreign resources and increasing prices of the finite amounts of fossil fuels. Through emission targets, taxes and incentive schemes, governments encourage the drive for renewable energy and ‘good behavior’. Companies set objectives concerning sustainability and modify their product portfolios. Consumers demand insight into and control over their own energy consumption.
The road ahead is clear: alternative energy solutions and energy efficiency measures are needed to secure that the world’s energy needs will continue to be covered – now and in the future. Meeting the demands of all stakeholders will require significant investments on the energy supply side and in the tools and technologies that enable the efficient use of that (renewable) energy. They will have a lasting impact on our energy mix and the way we use this crucial resource.
In this dynamic environment, SET Venture Partners’ mission is to drive the success of businesses in clean energy technologies, by focusing on Profit (creating value) and supporting management teams (People), thereby underlining the importance of sustainable activities for our Planet.
"Compare how we are living today with what we did ten years ago: it is indisputable that technology develops at an exponential rate, also within the energy sector. Our world’s energy production and usage will change dramatically; there is little doubt about that". Rene Savelsberg, CEO SET Venture Partners.
