Aygaz Venture’s Investment Thesis

In order to respond to changing customer needs and expectations, we’ve updated all our innovation focus areas and developed a venture investment thesis to manage our investments in a more focused and systematic manner. Our vision with venture investment thesis:

“Using pre-seed and seed funding, Aygaz invests in high-potential Turkish and foreign startups who develop green solutions and/or new technology for global markets, in the energy and distribution sectors.

Thanks to Aygaz’s leadership, powerful HR and extensive logistics networks, we support start-ups who work in hydrogen storage and distribution, biofuels, renewable energy, customer experience, delivery optimization and automation, recycling and mobile living.”

Hydrogen Storage and Distribution

Aygaz firmly believes that high technologies to facilitate hydrogen storage and distribution (gas, liquid, solid) will accelerate the future of energy transformation if they’re financially feasible and scalable.

Biofuels

We’re excited to collaborate and invest with start-ups who develop high-tech solutions to better produce, purify, liquefy, and blend biofuels like BioLPG, renewable dimethyl ether, and biomethane with existing gases.

Renewable Energy

LPG-based appliances and vehicles are now combinable with new energy sources. So, start-ups that embrace ever-changing energy usage trends and seize opportunities will be an important investment opportunity.

Recycling

Aygaz considers packaging important for its business lines, and works to ensure that all its packaging is recyclable and eco-friendly. Also, it considers biofuels as strategic and thus, Aygaz closely follows the developments in recycling technology, since the raw material for next-generation fuels is food and organic waste.

Outdoor – Mobile Living

With more than 60 years’ experience in energy delivery to end users, Aygaz closely follows startups and technology who/that use LPG and other energy sources for cooking, heating, and vehicle fuel.

Customer Experience

Another priority of ours is to use and invest in eligible digital apps that offer e- and mobile commerce solutions and use data to monitor customer experience in product ordering, delivery, and payment.

Demand Forecasting, Delivery Optimization, and Automation

Digitalizing and diversifying delivery modes, optimizing delivery routes and demand forecasting will contribute to our customer experience, efficiency and growth.
