Deep tech & clean tech: the way forward

Can climate tech deliver both impact and returns in a fast-moving global market?

Clean technologies are at the centre of the climate transition — but turning breakthrough science into scalable businesses still poses major financial and operational challenges. Since 2009, Cycle Capital has been tackling this head-on, managing over $700 million across North America and Europe. At the heart of this effort is Andrée-Lise Méthot, founder of Cycle Capital and a pioneer in deep tech investment with a climate lens.


Méthot will be in Brussels for a rare conversation about the future of sustainable finance, moderated by Pierre Hermant, CEO of finance&invest.brussels and host of Success Stories. She will be joined by a panel of experts to unpack the technological, economic, and policy dynamics shaping climate innovation on both sides of the Atlantic.


With Europe’s Green Deal and Fit for 55 agenda in motion, this meeting between Brussels and Quebec will offer valuable insights into how investors and entrepreneurs can align for both impact and performance.
