Mercator Partners

Mercator Partners

Capitalizing on structural disruption
from global decarbonization.

The Opportunity

The power, transport, manufacturing and primary production sectors have remained largely undisturbed in their design for over half a century.

These sectors are entering a period of structural change as an acceleration in digital and computational capabilities converge with an era of unparalleled progress across science and technology focused on decarbonization and sustainable alternatives.

Mercator Partners is an asset management platform focused on capturing this multi-decade thematic.

Our investment strategy is built around a primary research discipline that draws on thought leaders in academia, national laboratories, and proprietary analysis to develop an in-depth understanding of the nature and scope for disruption. The process also identifies early-stage private co-investment opportunities.

Disclaimer: There can be no guarantee that Mercator Partners will be able to implement its investment strategy or achieve its investment objectives.

The Change

In our view, basic industries will be re-defined by four major structural changes in the coming decades.

01 Electrification

The conversion of machines, processes, or systems to be powered by electricity

02 Decentralization

The shift of production away from a concentrated number of providers to a mass, shared or local architecture

03 Efficiency

Achieving alternative superior or like outcomes while requiring fewer resources

04 Sustainability

Changes to resource consumption to ensure that both future availability and global environment is not compromised

Co-Investments

The energy transition requires innovation across new materials, industrial processes, hardware solutions & business models.

Mercator works closely with founders from academia, National Labs, & associated industry networks in the launch of new initiatives focused on differentiated pathways to decarbonization.
