Portfolio Ventures

We help your great ideas grow

We know great ideas come from unexpected places — and that no single company or person can know everything. In order to capture ideas from multiple sources, our "Innovation at the edge" program takes a portfolio approach from startups, employee challenges, early-stage companies, and incubators.

We look for entrepreneur partners in Buildings, IT, Industry and Energy markets — and for ideas that have growth potential and the ability to capture value for our customers. We invest in market innovations that are core to our business, adjacent innovations to enter new markets and disruptive ideas that will create new markets and help lead the way in the new energy future.

Investments

From early seed to growth investments, we are always on the lookout for startups to partner with, to bring bold ideas to market.

Incubation

We identify ideas with a high-growth potential from employees, startups, universities, and early-stage companies. Our team helps in growing these ideas into ventures that are spun-out. We provide support in forming the founding team, customer development, product development, business models and investments.
