What One Planet Studio actually does

One Planet Studio is a venture studio based in Brussels that launches and scales cleantech companies focused on the Benelux built environment. Rather than investing in early-stage ideas, it selects clean-tech solutions with a proven track record elsewhere, validates local market demand, sets up a dedicated joint venture with its own legal and financial structure, recruits local leadership, and then supports the launch operationally.

“After years in the industry, I wanted to build something of my own that mattered.”

Why this belongs on a sustainability directory

By turning proven clean-tech models into fully operating Benelux ventures, from recycled construction materials to decarbonization data tools, One Planet Studio moves climate solutions out of pilot projects and into the built environment at commercial scale (SDG 9, SDG 13), while ventures like Recoma Benelux directly target waste reduction in construction (SDG 12).
