Our corporate investment vehicle, Repsol Corporate Venturing, invests in startups with technology solutions aimed at decarbonization.

Our investment fund, Repsol Deep Tech, helps boost technologies in the initial development  stages but with high potential in the energy transition. In addition to funding, we provide our broad knowledge of the energy industry through the more than 200 scientists at our technology and innovation center, the Repsol Technology Lab. There, we offer the possibility to test and validate the technologies from the startups in which we invest.

Success stories

Darwin

Repsol, through its Corporate Venturing team, has acquired a 21.43% stake in the Valencian spin-off Darwin Bioprospecting Excellence. This young company, from the University of Valencia, is a pioneer in biotechnology and focuses on bioprospecting and the cultivation of microorganisms to create pioneering solutions for the industry and the environment.

The relationship began with a biotechnology project developed at our R&D center, Repsol Technology Lab, when in 2020, a team of our scientists identified a consortium of microorganisms capable of significantly attacking the structure of polyolefins, supporting and demonstrating, for the first time, their biodegradation in laboratory conditions.

This technological solution opens new avenues for soil and water bioremediation and has been transferred to Darwin at the same time as the investment has been formalized, so that the spin-off can promote it and bring it to the market as soon as possible.

Smarkia

Through our Repsol Deep Tech investment fund, we've acquired 33% of Smarkia, a company with a software platform that provides its customers energy optimization solutions. This transaction marks a milestone in the investment ecosystem, since it not only provides capital, but we also transferred one of our energy optimization technologies based on artificial intelligence and that was developed at our innovation center, the Repsol Technology Lab.
