Episode von Wege aus der Klimakrise von European Investment Bank · 19. Mai 2026 · 18 min

Cleantech is no longer a niche sector. It is at the heart of a full‑scale industrial transformation, shaping how Europe produces energy, decarbonises industry and builds a more resilient economy.

In this episode of Invested by Europe, Sofia Viola, an investment officer at the European Investment Bank, explains:

What cleantech is today — a clue: it’s more than just renewable energy

Why energy storage is critical to balancing renewable supply and demand

Why batteries are crucial to stabilising the power system

Why industrial decarbonisation is essential for competitiveness

How the EIC Fund supports cleantech startups and scale‑ups

Why access to long‑term capital remains a key challenge in Europe

What makes her optimistic about the future of cleantech

The conversation also explores why cleantech represents a major economic opportunity — and why scaling these technologies will be decisive for Europe’s energy transition.
