I was a speaker at “KoçZer Podcast – Tedarik Masası” hosted by Dr. Ceyhun Emre Doğru.
Key highlights as follows:
The New Investment Reality: Climate, Technology, and Capital Are Converging: I emphasized that global capital allocation is now being reshaped by three structural forces:
The climate transition and regulatory pressure
Exponential technologies (AI, storage, electrification, industrial decarbonisation)
Institutional demand for resilient, future-proof assets This convergence is changing how investors assess value and risk.
Türkiye’s Strategic Position in the Global Energy Transition: I underlined Türkiye’s opportunity to become a bridge market for energy transition capital flows, thanks to:
Investors increasingly expect measurable outcomes
Governance, transparency, and data integrity are now core to investability
Capital is moving toward companies that can demonstrate decarbonisation, scalability, and systems impact This is raising the bar for founders and funds alike.
Why the Market Needs New Investment Platforms: I discussed the critical gap in Series A–B funding for energy transition scale-ups and how platforms like Energy Shift Capital help:
Transparent, resilient founders attract long-term investors
Boards must adapt to new governance models
Investors want mission-aligned teams capable of navigating regulatory and market uncertainty Human capital remains the strongest differentiator in impact-driven industries.

Türkiye’s Strategic Position in the Global Energy Transition: I underlined Türkiye’s opportunity to become a bridge market for energy transition capital flows, thanks to:
- Industrial capacity and manufacturing competitiveness
- Strong local energy players scaling regionally
- Growing investor interest in storage, grid flexibility, e-mobility, hydrogen, and distributed energy systems This unique positioning can attract European, Gulf, and Asian capital into the region.

Why the Market Needs New Investment Platforms: I discussed the critical gap in Series A–B funding for energy transition scale-ups and how platforms like Energy Shift Capital help:
- Curating high-quality, technically validated deals
- Reducing transaction friction
- Building trusted investor communities
- Mobilising capital faster into high-impact ventures. This is essential to close the €10B+ financing gap for scaling climate technologies.
