What I look for when investing
I look at the level of innovation, uniqueness, the team, market potential and growth rate. I seek cost-effective energy storage, disruptive and efficient fossil-free production processes, circular value chains, and scalability.

Over the years in my different ventures, I have, among other things, manufactured the Nobel medal, special tools for Ferrari’s Formula 1 team, and five-axis numerical grinding machines for the nuclear power industry.
