- First or interim closes for four funds, showing the full variety in embracing the cleantech theme: from a €300m infrastructure fund to a €150m circularity one, from an €80m regional industrial fund to a €80m fund dedicated to the ecological transition of the #wine industry
- The sale of Envelio and Wattsense to E.ON and Siemens, respectively, with a record return achieved this year with @Deepki, a company Demeter still holds a strong position in.
- The capital we are putting to work across our funds, averaging 2-3 deals per month over the last 12 months, with an even split between new investments and follow-on.
