Nudging towards more sustainable investments – The Nordics leading the way

Breakthrough Energy’s (BE) aim is to inspire the world to develop and scale the critical solutions we need to reach net-zero emissions—so everyone can enjoy affordable, abundant clean energy. BE's investment fund BE Ventures is very engaged in the Nordics by, for example, supporting the recently launched coalition of investors Cleantech for Nordics.
