Eneco invests in startups and scaleups that help to promote the energy transition in Eneco’s principal markets. Following an earlier series of successful investments, in 2021 Eneco has started to build a new portfolio. Recent investments include EnergyWorx, which specialises in cloud-based data management solutions for energy companies, and the German commercial installation platform Installion.

With this investment, Eneco will also take a seat on the fund’s advisory board.

Robert Blom, Senior Investment Manager at Eneco says, “Investing in the Rockstart Energy Fund will give Eneco early access to the 50 startups in Rockstart’s Energy Accelerator Program and create opportunities for Eneco to form potential partnerships and investigate possibilities for further investments.”

Rockstart’s €22M+ Energy VC fund was backed by institutional investors, European family offices, informal investors, and the government.
