The transition toward carbon neutrality is no longer driven solely by policy commitments or industrial incumbents. Increasingly, it is shaped by a new generation of startups developing highly specialized technologies that address critical bottlenecks in decarbonisation, energy efficiency, and environmental protection.
In this context, the European Innovation Council scheme represents a significant evolution in Europe\u2019s innovation strategy. By allocating large-scale funding to a select group of high-potential companies, the initiative aims to accelerate the deployment of breakthrough technologies with direct relevance to climate transition and industrial sustainability.

EIC STEP Scale Up: Enabling Climate-Relevant Industrial Scaling<\/strong><\/span>
The 2026 STEP Scale Up call resulted in:
\u2022 44 proposals submitted
\u2022 8 companies selected
\u2022 Total investment capacity of \u20ac146.5 million<\/strong>
Beyond the numbers, the strategic significance lies in where and how this capital is deployed<\/strong>. The programme specifically targets technologies that can contribute to:
\u2022 Decarbonisation of industrial systems
\u2022 Energy system transformation
\u2022 Resource efficiency and environmental protection
\u2022 Strategic technological autonomy in climate-relevant sectors
Unlike traditional innovation funding, this mechanism focuses on late-stage scaling,<\/strong> where climate technologies often face the highest barriers due to capital intensity, infrastructure requirements, and market complexity.

Selected Startups: Enabling the Climate Transition Through Advanced Technologies<\/strong><\/span>
While the selected companies operate across different deep-tech domains, several of them contribute\u2014directly or indirectly\u2014to the enabling infrastructure required for carbon neutrality.
AI and Digitalisation for Energy and Resource Efficiency \u2013 Aignostics (Germany)<\/strong>
Aignostics, while positioned in the healthcare domain, exemplifies a broader trend highly relevant to the energy transition: the use of artificial intelligence to optimise complex systems.
The same AI-driven analytical capabilities applied in biomedical diagnostics are increasingly transferable to:
\u2022 Energy system optimisation
\u2022 Industrial process efficiency
\u2022 Resource allocation and predictive maintenance
This reflects a key structural dynamic: digital technologies are becoming foundational enablers of decarbonisation<\/strong>, even when not directly classified as climate-tech.
Quantum Technologies as Long-Term Enablers of Energy Transition \u2013 Alice & Bob (France) & QuantWare (Netherlands)<\/strong>
Quantum computing remains at an early stage, but its potential impact on carbon neutrality is substantial.
Companies such as Alice & Bob and QuantWare are developing scalable quantum systems that, once mature, could transform:
\u2022 Materials discovery for low-carbon technologies (e.g. advanced batteries, hydrogen catalysts)
\u2022 Optimisation of energy grids and storage systems
\u2022 Simulation of complex climate models
\u2022 Industrial process design with reduced emissions
Although indirect, these technologies address one of the most critical constraints in the transition: the speed at which new materials and systems can be developed and deployed.<\/strong>

Startups as Drivers of Carbon Neutrality and Environmental Transformation<\/strong><\/span>
Startups occupy a unique position in the climate transition ecosystem. Their importance is not only linked to innovation, but to their ability to challenge existing technological and industrial constraints<\/strong>.
In the context of carbon neutrality, startups contribute in several critical ways:
\u2022 Technology disruption<\/strong>: introducing alternative solutions to carbon-intensive processes
\u2022 Speed of innovation<\/strong>: accelerating development cycles compared to traditional industry
\u2022 Niche problem solving<\/strong>: addressing specific bottlenecks (e.g. carbon capture efficiency, energy storage limitations)
\u2022 System integration<\/strong>: combining digital, material, and energy innovations into scalable solutions
However, climate technologies often require significant capital to reach industrial scale. Without adequate funding, many high-impact solutions remain confined to pilot stages.
This is where targeted investment mechanisms such as STEP Scale Up become essential\u2014not just for innovation, but for real-world decarbonisation impact<\/strong>.

Strategic Role of Investment in Accelerating Climate Innovation<\/strong><\/span>
The concentration of funding in a limited number of companies reflects a clear strategic priority: enabling technologies with system-level impact<\/strong>.
For climate-related innovation, this has specific implications:
\u2022 Bridging the \u201cvalley of death\u201d<\/strong> for capital-intensive climate technologies
\u2022 Accelerating deployment timelines<\/strong> for solutions critical to emission reduction
\u2022 Reducing reliance on external technology ecosystems<\/strong> in strategic sectors
\u2022 Mobilising private capital<\/strong> into climate innovation through public co-investment
In this framework, investment is not neutral\u2014it actively shapes the trajectory of the energy transition.

China Perspective: Rapid Scaling of Climate-Focused Startups<\/strong><\/span>
In parallel, Chinese startups are playing an increasingly strategic role in advancing carbon neutrality, combining technological innovation with a distinctive capacity for rapid industrial scaling and market deployment<\/strong>. This capability is strongly supported by policy alignment with national climate targets, integrated supply chains, and large domestic markets that enable fast validation and adoption of new solutions.
Chinese climate-focused startups are particularly active in sectors critical to the energy transition, including:
\u2022 Energy storage and battery technologies<\/strong>, supporting large-scale renewable integration
\u2022 Electric mobility ecosystems<\/strong>, including charging infrastructure and smart mobility solutions
\u2022 Green construction and low-carbon materials<\/strong>, addressing emissions in the built environment
\u2022 Digital energy systems<\/strong>, leveraging AI and data to optimise energy consumption and grid efficiency
\u2022 Carbon management and ESG platforms<\/strong>, enabling monitoring, reporting, and compliance
A key differentiator lies in their ability to move quickly from innovation to industrial-scale implementation<\/strong>, reducing costs and accelerating real-world impact. Startups are often embedded within broader industrial and policy ecosystems, allowing for faster integration and deployment compared to more fragmented innovation environments.
In comparison with Europe\u2019s strong deep-tech and research-driven approach, Chinese startups demonstrate greater strength in execution, scaling, and system integration<\/strong>. This creates a complementary dynamic in the global landscape, where both technological breakthroughs and deployment capacity are essential to achieving carbon neutrality.

Outlook<\/strong><\/span>
The EIC STEP Scale Up initiative illustrates a critical shift in how innovation is positioned within the carbon neutrality agenda. Startups are not only sources of new technologies\u2014they are strategic actors in the transition toward sustainable industrial systems<\/strong>.
At the same time, the effectiveness of this model will depend on the ability to connect:
\u2022 Innovation with industrial deployment
\u2022 Public funding with private investment
\u2022 Technological development with climate impact
In a global landscape where both Europe and China are advancing along different but interconnected paths, the role of startups\u2014supported by targeted, large-scale investment\u2014will be decisive in determining the speed and effectiveness of the transition toward a low-carbon future.
