Montis VC discusses the future of European energy in EU-Startups

The best stories and expert perspectives shouldn’t stop at one market. That’s why we’re excited to support Montis VC in building its international presence. This time, Michał Gawęda, Partner at Montis VC, has shared his perspective in EU-Startups, one of Europe’s leading media platforms covering startups, technology and venture capital.

In his op-ed, Michał explores the future of Europe’s energy sector and explains why the challenges it faces today could also create one of the biggest investment opportunities of the coming decade.

A Polish VC investor joins the European debate

EU-Startups is one of the leading sources of news and insights on the European startup ecosystem, read by founders, investors and technology leaders across the continent. Michał’s op-ed is therefore more than another media feature. It marks an important step in building Montis VC’s position as a fund that not only invests in the energy and industrial transition but also actively contributes to the international conversation around the future of these sectors.

In “Europe’s energy reckoning is turning into its biggest opportunity,” Michał examines how rising energy demand, the rapid growth of AI and data centres, the need to modernise infrastructure and the growing importance of energy security are reshaping the European market. Together, these forces are creating new opportunities for technology companies, ambitious founders and investors ready to back capital-intensive ventures.

A second chance for Europe’s energy sector

Europe has already had one major opportunity to capitalise on its strength in clean technologies. However, much of the value and production created at the time ultimately moved to other parts of the world. Today, another window is opening, driven not only by climate policy and public funding but also by the real needs of businesses, industry and the wider European economy.

These are exactly the kinds of topics we want to bring into the international debate together with Montis VC. It’s great to see the expertise and perspective of a Polish investor reaching audiences across Europe. We’re even happier to support Montis VC on this journey, strengthen the fund’s voice beyond Poland and raise the issues that will shape the future of European energy, technology and venture capital.
