Where we invest
We are in the early stages of a global Climate Transition – reshaping energy, industry, construction, and transport.
CI invests in companies leading this shift, focusing on high-emission sectors that contribute over 65% of global GHGs1 but receive less than 25% of innovation capital2. We target underserved “white spaces” with scalable solutions that deliver strong, measurable GHG impact and attractive risk-adjusted returns.
Our model combines venture to growth equity capital with deep industry partnerships to accelerate market adoption. We believe capital-efficient innovation is key to industrial decarbonization.
With support from 16 blue-chip investors and a broad industrial network, we identify opportunity gaps and continuously refine our approach. Our Portfolio Company Value Creation process ensures insights from across sectors feed back into our investment strategy—driving cross-sector innovation and long-term impact.
