Transition Acceleration Fund I (TAF)

Accelerating transitions with impact

Europe’s energy transition and deep‑tech build‑out are increasingly constrained by a capital timing gap.

Many technologies have reached technical validation and early market traction, yet struggle to scale because capital does not arrive at the pace required for deployment, procurement and execution.

The Transition Acceleration Fund (TAF) is being developed to address this structural challenge.

TAF focuses on fast, flexible, milestone‑based capital for start‑ups and scale‑ups operating across energy, circularity, clean‑tech and deep‑tech, accelerating the transition from proven technology to real‑world impact.

Early engagement & early LP interest

TAF is currently in an early engagement (pre‑marketing) phase.

In this phase, we are selectively opening conversations with professional investors and ecosystem partners who are interested in:

• discussing scaling and execution challenges in energy and deep‑tech,
• exchanging views on capital structures suited to capital‑intensive growth
• exploring early strategic alignment with the fund’s strategy and focus.

These discussions are intended to test interest, exchange perspectives and build long‑term relationships ahead of subsequent fundraising stages.

All information is indicative, incomplete and subject to final change.

Interested in early LP discussions?

Professional investors who would like to engage in an early, exploratory conversation regarding the Transition Acceleration Fund are invited to get in touch.
