Powering the shift to a sustainable future

At Spring Associates, the energy transition has been at the heart of our expertise since day one. Our consultants include seasoned professionals in strategy and business development within the energy and clean tech sectors, as well as in executing carbon reduction strategies across industries to help organizations and financial institutions meet their sustainability goals.

Strategy & New Business

We support companies and financial institutions that find themselves confronted with fundamental choices. Our consultants can help them to get a clear vision on future developments and (re)define their roles. Together with our clients these insights are translated into sharper strategies, clearer positionings, bankable business plans and design of future proof organisations. We can support our clients with the next steps; acquisition or partnerships trajectories and development of new products and services.
