Flatten the Climate Curve LP/GP Investor Summit

The Netherlands is home to a great number of startups & scaleups that relentlessly work towards curbing climate change. Despite their massive contributions towards reducing global emissions, their growth is slowed down by various challenges, including access to smart capital. Both VCs and companies themselves recognise the challenge of connecting to the right partners as well as the shortage of available capital in the Netherlands overall. This is why we decided to make a change. We bring together top international and Dutch investors to collaborate and help climate heroes scale. It's time to redefine capitalism.

Key details:

When: December 10th @17.00 CET/11 am EST – 19.30 CET/1 pm EST

Where: Virtual attendance (invitation only), a video replay of the event is available here.

Who: Top international and Dutch investors with high engagement and proven, active investment in technologies that help flatten the climate curve.


Why: Connect top international and Dutch investors to address the current challenges faced by Dutch energy startups and scaleups. Facilitate open dialogue and knowledge sharing as a foundation for long-term collaboration on improving the growth climate for the Dutch tech ecosystem.
