How Cleantech is Driving Europe’s Energy Transition

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.
