How can Partners support innovative startups to scale up?

Siemens Energy Ventures focuses on investing, building and piloting ventures that will transform energy systems and help fight climate change.

Operating at the intersection between the corporate world and the startup ecosystem, our intention is to partner with start-ups and founders to accompany the growth journey, providing necessary support, guidance and network.

Siemens Energy Ventures offers a unique blend of expertise; with a strong innovation history coupled with market access, networks and deep technology know-how. What we’re looking for is founding teams solving big climate and energy challenges with innovative ideas so we can energize society together.

"We know that 35% of emissions reduction need to come from technologies that are not commercialized yet. Working with Carbon13 and supporting their founders in building those emerging climate technologies is critical to build the next bench of companies driving the energy transition. We can only win this together by bringing diverse teams around one common purpose - I am especially excited about the high number of women joining Carbon13."

Kendra Rauschenberger, General Partner Siemens Energy Ventures

A place for change-makers with tech at the heart of what they do. With space, expertise and community to amplify and inspire impact.

"It's an incredibly exciting partnership. The climate emergency is something that our whole team feels passionately about, so not only does this initiative align with our values as a team, it also perfectly sync's with Techspace's mission."

Accelerating technologies for net zero and inspiring our people

As part of Arm’s climate crisis response, we have committed to reducing our own emissions and to supporting innovation in climate solutions – especially in tech-enabled carbon removal solutions. We are delighted to be partnering with Carbon13 to support this aim. Through this partnership we are also surfacing examples within the business of tech innovation for net zero, as well as enabling some of our people to volunteer their time to support Carbon13 ventures with their specialist skills and expertise.

“In 2020 Arm announced its commitment to become net zero carbon by 2030 across all its emissions sources. We knew that new climate solutions were needed and that the pace and scale of innovation wasn’t where it needed to be. We have established a partnership with Carbon13 to support and highlight the role of disruption and collaboration in accelerating the innovation we’ll all need to reach net zero.”
