The firm leverages a strong network of strategic partners from the energy industry and beyond to provide portfolio companies with funding, mentoring, and connections that accelerate growth and market impact[1][2].
Founded in 2016 by Jan Lozek and other key partners, Future Energy Ventures emerged from the energy industry with the recognition that the future of energy requires convergence with other sectors and frontier technologies like AI and blockchain.

Its founding vision centers on enabling a clean, flexible, and digitally connected energy infrastructure, supported by a broad ecosystem of corporate investors including E.ON, European Investment Fund, and others[1][2].
FEV rides the global trend of energy transition towards decarbonization, digitalization, and decentralization. The timing is critical as governments and industries worldwide accelerate renewable energy adoption and smart infrastructure development.
