SE Ventures, a global venture capital fund backed by Schneider Electric, has announced its €500-million Fund-II to help climate and industrial technology start-ups. This builds upon a 2018 Fund-I to bring SE Ventures to €1 billion of committed capital.

It added that Fund-II will begin deployment in January 2023.
