Ein Gespräch zwischen Übermorgen-Ventures-Partner Adrian Bührer und Wirtschaftspsychologin Nathaly Bachmann über die Rolle von Vertrauen beim Investieren: Beide sind sich einig, dass gute Investitionsentscheidungen immer Analyse und Intuition kombinieren — ein starker Case allein reicht nicht, wenn das Bauchgefühl nicht stimmt. Im zweiten Teil weitet sich die Diskussion auf gesellschaftliches Vertrauen aus: Bachmann argumentiert, dass politische Lähmung beim Klimathema vor allem an menschlicher Veränderungsaversion liegt — und dass es Führungspersönlichkeiten braucht, die Unsicherheit aushalten und als Chance kommunizieren, statt Angst zu schüren.

Für die Schweiz und ganz Europa hat eine Zeitenwende begonnen, deren Auswirkungen sich nur schwer abschätzen lassen. Soviel ist klar: Die Zeiten des gemütlichen Wohlstands unter der warmen Decke eines amerikanischen Verteidigungsbündnisses und einer globalen durch internationale Organisationen und Verträge gestützen und vom Westen geprägten Weltordnung sind vorbei.

By rethinking how advanced materials are created, Milvus is expanding what’s possible in material performance while reducing dependency on critical metals. This innovation opens new pathways for more resilient and sustainable supply chains across clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and next-generation electronics. We are proud to partner with the Milvus team as they build the materials foundation for a truly scalable clean energy future.

In today’s climate venture landscape, impact investing is more than a financial strategy—it’s an imperative. Recently, Übermorgen founder Adrian sat down with Dr. Falko Paetzold, academic leader and founder of the Center for Sustainable Finance and Private Wealth, to reflect on why he joined the advisory board at Übermorgen Ventures. Their conversation covered the evolution of venture investing, the limitations of traditional models, and the broader responsibility investors face in the age of climate crisis.

In this video, founding partners Myke and Adrian pull back the curtain on Übermorgen Ventures—how we invest, how we build, and how we create value. They show how a disciplined process, long-term horizon, and hands-on, shoulder-to-shoulder support compound outcomes from the first check through scale and exit. Along the way, they unpack our climate thesis, the market and technology shifts reshaping the space, portfolio stories, and why we believe climate is the defining investment opportunity of our generation.

A recent academic paper by Marathon outlines a method for producing gold via nuclear transmutation, using neutrons generated in fusion reactions. The process involves converting mercury-198 into mercury-197, which then decays into stable gold-197 within 64 hours. While the study has not yet been peer-reviewed, it has garnered interest from experts in the field, including researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy. Scientific advisers note the theoretical soundness of the proposal, though practical engineering challenges remain.

Concrete and steel create a lot of buildings – a lot of CO2, too. Now, new EU regulations require builders and developers to disclose just how dirty their building materials are. Many contractors don't have a clue. Meet Lisa Oberaigner, one of our founders at Emidat – a software start-up that helps manufacturers measure – and reduce – the environmental harm of building materials. To do so, Lisa measures the carbon emitted from creating the building materials, and next identifies how and where in the supply chain a manufacturer can reduce it. Her software uses AI to quickly and accurately create these reports. "What we offer today is a platform where the manufacturer can automatically feed in this data from their systems, then the declarations are autogenerated," she said. "It shortens the time from roughly a year to a week."

Fixing the climate crisis is a vast, world-sized puzzle. But one particularly large piece of this ginormous conundrum is construction and real estate — which collectively amount for around 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Enter Munich-based data startup Emidat, which has built a software platform for automating the generation of validated Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certificates for the construction sector. EPDs are a critical piece of the puzzle for understanding and mitigating the climate impact of the built environment. Übermorgen Ventures has invested in Emidat’s €4 million seed round, led by U.S. VC giant General Catalyst.

The spin-off from ETH Zurich has developed a technology that is intended to make the battery production process up to 10x faster and also 30% more cost-effective. based on production techniques in the paper and photo industries, 8inks worked with a “multi-layer coating process”. This saves costs in terms of both investment and operating expenses. at the same time, the process would improve the energy density of the batteries.
