Climate change has been posing an increasing threat to the planet at the environmental and economic levels, and the rise of clean energy (CE) is ever more fundamental for ensuring a qualified alternative for the energy mix, attracting the financial interest of different investment entities. In this respect, the significance of corporate venture capitalists (CVCs) has been on a steady rise for every sector, even for CE, since the 1990 s, and it is shaping up to become a major force behind the worldwide innovation. The aim of this research is to investigate the essential profiles about the phenomenon regarding CVCs that are active in CE, with a focus on the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, to understand how they act in pursuing their strategic intention. The specific contribution of this study, which adopts a quantitative approach to operate a descriptive analysis on the dynamics operating in the context under investigation by combining relating data from several institutional databases, is to provide a scenario analysis with explorative intention that may define the main characteristics, roles in innovation, and growing participation of CVCs in the CE sector, especially in the APAC area.
