Investment thesis

DTCF backs high-growth deep-tech and climate-tech companies across Germany and Europe, focusing on ventures with extended development cycles and substantial capital needs. Acting as an anchor investor and partner to long-term-oriented European investors, it supports sustainable growth strategies and helps expand the technology ecosystem. The fund positions itself as a bridge between investors, SMEs (Mittelstand), and innovative high-tech startups across four fields: climate, computing, industry, and life sciences. Funded by the German Future Fund and the ERP Special Fund, DTCF plans to invest €1 billion over the coming years to strengthen the European technology ecosystem, targeting moonshot bets that redefine what is possible.
