Description
Repsol Foundation’s Entrepreneurs Fund supports technology startups developing innovative solutions for the energy transition. It targets pre-commercial and very early commercial companies seeking to validate demonstrated technologies, refine their business models, and move toward market deployment. The program emphasizes technological innovation, scalability, viable business models, and positive social impact, and strongly encourages women-led or women-co-founded startups.
Selected startups receive a tailored acceleration plan, financing, expert mentoring, advisory services, and support for pilot testing under real conditions. Pilots generally involve Repsol, but may take place with third parties. The program also provides visibility and networking to help companies reach markets and future investors. It typically supports six to eight startups annually, concentrating resources on each company’s technology and business needs.
