Financing Europe’s Net-Zero Transition: How SET Ventures Invests in the Digital Energy Stack

In this episode of 0100 Impact Talks, Dr. Till Stenzel, Partner at SET Ventures, explains why the next phase of decarbonisation will be driven by smart, digital systems that optimise how energy is produced, stored, and consumed.

He shares how SET Ventures, active in energy VC since 2007, shifted its focus from early hardware investments to backing the software and platforms enabling grid flexibility, electrification, and smarter buildings. Till also reflects on Europe’s regulatory fragmentation — a challenge for scaling energy startups — while highlighting the continent’s strengths: a digitised grid, strong industrial base, and growing investor appetite.

SET Ventures’ €200 million Article 9 fund continues this mission, financing the intelligence layer of Europe’s energy system and supporting the move from transition to transformation.
