BP Discontinues Corporate Venture Arm After Two Decades of Operations
BP has shut down its corporate venture arm after 20 years, selling most of its climate tech and energy transition investments to private equity firm Verdane. The move marks a strategic retreat from clean energy initiatives and venture capital activities, retaining only select investments with potential business value.
BP Ventures is shutting down, ending a nearly 20-year run that was marked by reportedly lackluster returns.
