Netherlands-based impact VC group SHIFT Invest has secured the first exit of its most recent fund with the acquisition of wind turbine tech group C1 Connections by the publicly listed engineering company Nordex Group.
C1 Connections has developed a technology to make stronger, cheaper connections for wind turbines that allow for the increased loads seen in modern, larger turbines.
