M&A – Strategic acquisitions and divestments
For buy-side execution, we follow a systematic and analytical process tailored to our clients’ business objectives and assist them in finding and contacting targets. By providing due diligence reports, we ensure a solid foundation and negotiate and close the agreement. On the other hand, sell-side execution also requires a carefully structured and targeted approach. To that end, we create the teaser and investment memorandum for investors, select and approach investors, coordinate and monitor the due diligence process and structure the deal while moderating negotiations and preparing the closing.

As cleantech specialists, our technology expertise and deep understanding of the dynamics in cleantech markets maximize your JV’s competitive advantage.
Fundraising
We jointly define the target investors and/or partners and work on a compelling storyline for the investor approach. We organize and lead meetings with you and high-potential investors to select the most suitable candidates for further discussions and provide ongoing negotiation support to close the best possible deal. Committed to transparency, we only introduce your company to potential investors who have been explicitly approved by you beforehand.
Due diligence – Knowing the real value of the deal
Our team of business and technology experts examines each business opportunity in detail, evaluating all relevant commercial, market and technical aspects.
Project finance – The most advantageous financing structure

We advise governments on embedding renewable energy into their broader energy strategy, achieving competitive pricing and maximizing local value creation.
