Semiconductor manufacturing is usually discussed in terms of fabs, supply chains, downstreaming, geopolitics, and national industrial strategy. But many of the next constraints sit several layers below it.

This advanced manufacturing base, now centered in Asia, still has to turn installed fab capacity into yield-adjusted output. Without adding another fab, advances in materials, packaging, cooling, and process control can shift the operating limits of existing manufacturing capacity.

Ultrapure water, chemical management, separation systems, contamination control, wastewater treatment, and resource recovery are among the systems within the semiconductor manufacturing environment that shape repeatable production. They sit underneath yield, uptime, and the usable output of advanced manufacturing capacity.

Water, materials, and the manufacturing systems behind advanced compute

On June 22, our Founder & Managing Partner Michael Gryseels joined the Singapore Membrane Consortium’s Annual Symposium 2026, “Membranes in Action: Enabling Water & Chemical Circularity in Semiconductor Manufacturing,” alongside: Kunal Shah of Singapore Water Association, Yan Gu of PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency, and Choon Siong KHO of Singapore’s Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment. The session was moderated by Prof. Dibakar Bhattacharyya, a membrane science expert from the University of Kentucky.

The panel agenda placed water recycling and resource recovery alongside semiconductor circularity, ultrapure-water requirements, water cost, and the barriers that stand between technology development and use in fabrication.

These questions sit within the same manufacturing environment. Water recovery, chemical recovery, metals recovery, contamination control, and wastewater treatment each carry their own technical and commercial conditions, while also affecting the wider economics and reliability of production.

For a technology entering semiconductor manufacturing, laboratory performance is only one part of the path. The operating environment introduces economics, qualification, integration, reliability, customer requirements, and the risk attached to changing a live production system.

During the panel, Michael highlighted the barriers to scale-up, the coordination required across end users, governments, technology providers, and investors, and the signals that distinguish an investable technology from one that remains too early.

The distance between laboratory performance and fabrication use is where many promising technologies are tested most directly. The question is whether they can hold performance under production conditions and fit within the industrial, commercial, and operational realities of the customer.

Where Antares Sits

Antares sits across the point where energy, compute, and industrial systems meet. In compute, the focus is on the materials, power delivery, cooling, advanced packaging, and real-asset infrastructure that physically enable scale. In manufacturing, it is on advanced production technologies, process engineering, sensing and control, and treatment, separation, and recovery systems that shape how industrial assets perform.

Membranes sit within this overlap when separation or recovery affects a manufacturing constraint. While the thematic provides an entry point; the investment question remains whether the technology can improve the productive performance or economics of a capital-intensive system and move through qualification into commercial deployment.

Advanced compute does not end at the chip. It depends on the manufacturing systems that make the chip possible

Asia sits at the centre of the global economy as energy, materials, and supply chains are being reconfigured. For global founders, this changes the scale and complexity companies inherit.

SLINGSHOT 2026 returns for its tenth edition at Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH), taking place in Singapore from 27–29 October.

Applications are open to startups working across five areas:

1. Advanced Computing and Intelligence
2. Advanced Manufacturing and Industrial Systems
3. Digital Technologies and Security
4. Environment, Energy and Sustainability
5. Health and Biomedical

Last year, Antares had a front-row seat as judges in the Green Technology category. As a SLINGSHOT community partner, we also saw promising global deep-tech companies progress through the competition to the final session in Singapore in October 2025.

Selected Top 50 Global Startups will receive a sponsored trip to Singapore and compete for more than S$2.2 million in grant prizes.

The categories reflect a wider shift in where technical capability is being built and tested. Computing is no longer separate from power, materials, and physical infrastructure. Industrial systems are being redesigned around different energy inputs, supply chains, and production constraints. Technologies in health, security, and environmental systems are moving through the same question: how they hold when they enter larger, more complex operating contexts.

For founders moving toward commercial deployment, SWITCH offers a vantage point on the region’s changing industrial landscape. We look forward to connecting with those attending in October.

Singapore, May 29, 2026 — Antares Ventures has formally joined Eureka Network’s Investment Readiness Programme, strengthening its engagement with European deep-tech startups and corporations exploring growth pathways into Asia.

Led by Partner Louis Murayama, the engagement with Eureka began at Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) 2025, where Eureka’s delegation brought together European founders, investors, corporates, and ecosystem partners exploring how international startups can engage with Asia’s innovation and investment landscape.

The partnership comes as European deep tech continues to gain capital and momentum, while the scale-up bottleneck remains. The 2026 European Deep Tech Report shows European deep-tech VC funding reached $20.3 billion in 2025, representing 32% of all European VC investment. The report also identifies persistent challenges around growth-stage funding, market fragmentation, researcher-to-founder conversion, and risk appetite among corporates and governments.

For investors and corporates, that context points to a practical question: how to move beyond thematic interest in deep tech and identify where energy, industry, infrastructure, and compute become both investable and strategically relevant. Europe–Asia pathways are part of that answer, especially where frontier technologies meet urgent commercial problem statements and industrial demand.

For Antares Ventures, the collaboration strengthens a cross-border pathway it has been building deliberately: connecting global deep-tech founders with the market access, industrial collaboration, and commercialisation support required to scale in Asia.

Louis Murayama, Partner at Antares Ventures, said:

“We’re pleased to join Eureka Network’s Investment Readiness Programme and engage with Europe’s leading deep-tech founders. This partnership aligns with our focus on working early with high-potential teams and supporting their expansion into Asia through industrial collaboration, market access, and long-term value creation.”

The strongest technologies do not scale through access alone, but through proximity to the problems they are built to solve. The partnership reflects Antares Ventures’ focus on early-growth deep tech, where scientific depth must meet commercial readiness, industrial adoption, and market-specific execution. Through Eureka’s Investment Readiness Programme, Antares Ventures will engage with European startups and corporations working across areas such as energy, computing, industrial systems, and other frontier technologies where Asia’s growth markets present strong commercial pull.

On May 20, 2026, Antares Ventures hosted a Beyond Carbon & Silicon gathering in Singapore with Cleantech Group and Singapore Global Network, bringing together corporate leaders, CVCs, family offices, founders, and operators for an invite-only evening. The gathering took place during a week when Ecosperity Week and Cleantech Forum Asia brought many of the region’s sustainability, investment, and innovation leaders into Singapore.

The gathering was held at the home of Antares Partner Milena Nikolova and brought together more than 65 participants from Southeast Asia, Japan, India, Europe, North America, and Australia. It was not simply the level of interest in deep tech that stood out, but how discussions across energy systems, AI infrastructure, industrial performance, and capital allocation converged in the same room.

In many ways, Asia gave the room a shared language that evening.

Global Antares portfolio companies including VFlowTech, Hydroleap, and Ayrton Energy also joined the gathering, contributing perspectives on long-duration energy storage, industrial water systems, cooling infrastructure, and hydrogen storage and transport.

Antares Ventures thanks everyone who joined for an engaged and thoughtful evening and thanks Cleantech Group and Singapore Global Network for supporting the gathering.

Industrial innovation is still often discussed in separate rooms across capital, industry, and technology. The advantage sits in how quickly those conversations align around the same constraints and opportunities.

On May 6, 2026, Antares Ventures and IDN Times convened a private leadership forum in Jakarta with senior leaders from government, sovereign wealth funds and institutional investors, state-owned enterprises, corporations, and the technology ecosystem to discuss how energy, infrastructure, and capital allocation are evolving in Indonesia.

Indonesia is entering a new industrial cycle where capacity alone will not define competitiveness. Data centres, industrial downstreaming, and advanced manufacturing are often discussed as separate investment themes within Indonesia’s industrial ambitions. As Michael Gryseels, Founder & Managing Partner of Antares Ventures, noted during the forum, decisions across different parts of the economy are now becoming connected through shared constraints around power reliability, cooling, water availability, and transmission capacity.

The discussion was candid and highly interactive. Participants examined how energy security can be strengthened while reducing import dependence, how downstreaming can create greater domestic value, how technology transfer and talent development can keep pace, and how capital can support growth, job creation, and broader economic outcomes at the same time.

Michael also shared that AI may become one of the most democratizing technologies we have seen. As inference moves closer to users across Asia, countries with scale, energy resources, and digital talent, like Indonesia, are particularly well positioned.

The bigger opportunity for Indonesia is not simply building more infrastructure. It is designing systems where energy, compute, and industry work together under real-world constraints. The encouraging part is that many of the building blocks already exist. The ambition is there. The talent is emerging. The industrial base is strengthening.

These questions highlighted the scale and complexity of the opportunity now taking shape in Indonesia. Antares Ventures thanks IDN for helping bring together this conversation and all participants for contributing to a thoughtful and substantive exchange.

Indonesia has the scale, resources, and ambition to play a defining role in Asia’s next industrial cycle. The opportunity now is to build systems that perform.

Enduring companies are built where structural necessity meets exceptional founders.

That was the central theme of our recent Beyond Carbon & Silicon breakfast in Singapore, co-hosted with True Search, which brought together senior operators and investors across data centres, semiconductors, and energy.

As demand for AI and digital infrastructure accelerates across Asia, the opportunity extends well beyond data centres and semiconductors. As our Founder & Managing Partner Michael Gryseels notes in the discussion, this demand is creating new pressure on energy systems, industrial infrastructure, and the physical constraints that determine how these systems perform in practice

Antonio Castellano from McKinsey & Company shared how energy affordability, legacy infrastructure, and regulatory realities are shaping the build-out of digital infrastructure across Southeast Asia. Josh Smith from True Search highlighted the importance of leadership and organizational capability in scaling companies operating in increasingly complex environments.

For us, these are two sides of the same question. The most compelling companies are built when exceptional founders take on problems that have become structurally unavoidable. Just as water may become as important as electricity for AI, infrastructure bottlenecks often emerge in areas receiving less attention. Across our portfolio, we have seen that immediate deployment speed matters more than long-term ideal solutions.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us for a thoughtful discussion and to True Search for co-hosting with us.

Tomorrow’s industrial leaders are often viewed through the lens of standalone sectors. The companies that matter most may now be shaped by what works as these systems converge.

There is a question at the centre of the global energy transition that is still not being asked clearly enough. What happens when the two largest system level demands on energy and computation arrive at the same time?

The answer shapes every investment thesis in energy today, and it certainly shapes ours.

For the past decade, the energy transition narrative moved along a relatively linear path. Coal would be retired, solar and wind would be built, and transport would be electrified. The capital requirements were enormous, yet the direction was clear.

Then the compute supercycle arrived, which show that AI infrastructure is not a software problem. It is a physical infrastructure problem that consumes energy at a scale and intensity that grid planners, utilities, and climate modellers had not fully accounted for. Data centres are now among the fastest growing categories of electricity demand globally. Unlike industrial or residential demand, compute load is concentrated, continuous, and growing exponentially.

Scaling of energy and compute are no longer parallel challenges that can be solved independently. Beyond Carbon & Silicon (2025)

The result is a structural collision. Decarbonisation requires replacing existing carbon intensive generation at enormous scale, while computation simultaneously adds new demand that did not exist in prior energy planning cycles. Both are unfolding within the same decade.

This is not a problem that solar and wind alone can solve. Variable renewables remain essential, yet they do not provide what the combined system increasingly requires, which is reliable and continuous baseload clean power.

This is where geothermal enters the thesis.

Continuous Load Changes How Power is Valued

Geothermal is not a new technology. It has been generating electricity since 1904. What makes it newly strategic is not novelty, but the specific performance characteristics it brings to a grid under simultaneous decarbonisation and compute pressure.

Geothermal plants operate at capacity factors of 80 to 90 percent. Solar peaks at 20 to 25 percent, and wind at 35 to 45 percent. Capacity factor is not an abstract technical metric. It answers a simple question: When demand is continuous, what energy sources can actually be counted on?

Source: IEA (2024)

For the type of load that AI data centres represent, which runs continuously, independent of weather and flexible in location, geothermal is one of the very few clean energy sources that matches the demand profile without requiring storage, backup, or grid balancing at equivalent scale

There is also a supply chain alignment that is often underappreciated. Up to 80 percent of geothermal project capital expenditure overlaps with oil and gas drilling, including equipment, workforce capabilities, and subsurface engineering expertise. In a world where the energy transition competes for limited industrial capacity, geothermal can scale using infrastructure that already exists.

Beyond electricity, geothermal heat in the range of 100 to 200 degrees Celsius and above supports industrial processes, district heating, and increasingly green hydrogen production through high temperature electrolysis. The asset is not a single purpose power generator. It is a thermal resource with multiple commercial pathways.

The convergence of energy and computation is global, yet it is most acute in Asia, and particularly in Southeast Asia. Asia accounts for 65 to 70 percent of global clean energy capital expenditure and is also the fastest growing region for AI infrastructure deployment. Indonesia, Malaysia, and the broader ASEAN corridor are actively building data centre capacity to serve domestic digital growth as well as regional demand from hyperscalers seeking to diversify beyond North America and Europe.

Indonesia’s position within this picture is singular. The country holds 29 gigawatts of geothermal potential, which represents 40 percent of the world’s total estimated resource. It is currently the second largest geothermal energy producer globally, yet it is utilising less than 10 percent of its own reserves.

For decades, the standard explanation has focused on regulatory friction, conservation area overlaps, utility company’s least cost mandate, and the exploration financing gap that commercial banks are unwilling to cross without government support. These explanations are accurate, yet they describe symptoms more than the underlying cause.

The utility companies operates under a least cost mandate. Within that framework, geothermal’s capacity factor of 80 to 90 percent, its ability to produce power continuously regardless of weather, is not treated as a premium attribute. It becomes a cost input that must compete with subsidised coal. The tariff negotiations that have stalled projects for years are therefore not anomalies. They are the logical outcome of a procurement system that cannot price reliability.

That buyer is no longer alone. Google’s partnership with Fervo Energy in Nevada and Meta’s 150 megawatt agreement with XGS Energy for its New Mexico data centre campus are procurement decisions shaped by a specific technical requirement. These organisations require continuous, large scale clean power for AI infrastructure that operates independent of weather and cannot be served by intermittent renewables without storage at equivalent scale.

For the first time, there is a class of buyer willing to pay for what geothermal actually delivers. Yet the basis on which that performance is achieved remains difficult to value.

Operator Behaviour Reveals Where Deployment Breaks

In Asia Growth Market, this shift is moving from concept into commercial discussion. Star Energy Geothermal, which operates more than 900 megawatts of installed capacity, has confirmed conversations with data centre operators about co locating facilities adjacent to its plants. Project InnerSpace’s 2025 analysis identifies Batam as a site capable of supplying firm geothermal power to Singapore’s constrained data centre market across the strait. PLN projects Indonesia’s data centre load reaching 4 gigawatts by 2033, with AI likely to accelerate that trajectory further.

Pertamina Geothermal Energy has stated its strategy of bringing global geothermal technology into Indonesia and localising it. Its partnership with Genvia on solid oxide electrolyzer technology for green hydrogen production reflects a recognition that geothermal is a thermal platform with multiple outputs, not only a power generator tied to a fixed tariff.

Star Energy Geothermal has partnered with SLB to address subsurface characterisation and drilling economics. Previous field work in Indonesia shows well costs reduced by 70 to 75 percent and drilling rates increased from 44 to 112 metres per day. These improvements come from applying oilfield grade technology and data analytics to a sector that has long operated with older methods.

Pertamina Geothermal Energy has also developed its Flow2Max two phase flow measurement system for international market. When the largest operator in the region builds its own productivity tools, it signals that the technology supply chain remains thinner than the asset base requires.

Technology Gains Begin to Shift Project Economics

Conventional geothermal — binary cycle, flash steam, dry steam — is what built the 2.4 gigawatts Indonesia and most other growth market in Asia operates today. It is reliable, proven, and increasingly well-financed. State infrastructure financing institution has built an entire risk-mitigation facility around conventional exploration drilling. The capital ecosystem for conventional geothermal is maturing.

Source: Project Innerspace (2025)

Asia’s current innovation wave reflects this reality. This includes binary cycle systems that extract additional generation from residual brine without new drilling, advanced reservoir imaging such as Geo Dipa’s collaboration with Geo Flow Imaging from New Zealand, and Elnusa’s RES IP device developed with ITB for geothermal formation characterisation below sub volcanic geology. Flow systems that stabilise well productivity prediction are also part of this layer. These are near term commercial priorities for concession holders, and the incumbent solution set remains underdeveloped relative to demand.

Antares is not investing in what is already being financed. Our thesis sits in the technology layer that unlocks the remaining 90% of Asia’s geothermal potential, and the equivalent opportunity across the Ring of Fire markets we cover.

1. Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) use directional drilling and controlled subsurface stimulation to create permeability in hot rock, expanding viable geothermal sites far beyond naturally permeable, high-temperature reservoirs. EGS makes geography flexible. The heat exists almost everywhere at sufficient depth — EGS is the technology that makes it accessible.

2. Closed-Loop Systems circulate working fluid through sealed subsurface heat exchangers, eliminating the need to find a naturally permeable reservoir entirely. They reduce exploration risk, preserve reservoir integrity, and bring a fundamentally different risk profile to project development compared to conventional systems.

3. Supercritical Drilling targets temperatures above 370°C at depths beyond five kilometres — dramatically increasing energy density per well. It requires breakthroughs in materials and well design, but the energy output per well makes it potentially transformative at scale.

What ties these three together is ORC efficiency. Organic Rankine Cycle efficiency — the measure of how effectively geothermal heat is converted to electricity — ranges from 5–15% in conventional systems, to 15–20% in EGS, to 15–30% in closed-loop configurations. Better drilling and heat recovery technology does not just expand where geothermal can go. It changes the economics of every project.

At Antares, our investment focus sits in the layer between the resource and the output. We invest in industrial deep technologies that determine performance across real world systems operating under constraint, and global proof points are now emerging. Fervo Energy drilled its Sugarloaf appraisal well to 15,765 feet in 16 days, representing a 79 percent reduction against the US Department of Energy baseline, with thermal recovery factors of 50 to 60 percent. Cape Station Phase I is expected to come online in 2026 with 400 megawatts contracted to investment grade buyers. These developments indicate that EGS and other technology is moving from research into a commercial asset class.

Why Now: Capital and Capability Are Moving into Place

The window for this investment is not indefinite. The convergence of energy and computation is accelerating demand for reliable clean baseload power. Hyperscalers and data centre operators are actively seeking continuous clean power purchase agreements. This creates a new category of offtake demand that geothermal is uniquely positioned to serve, provided next generation technologies mature in time.

At the same time, the oil and gas industry is actively redeploying drilling expertise, subsurface engineering, and workforce capabilities into geothermal. The companies best positioned to absorb this transfer are the deep technology ventures building next generation systems.

In Asia’s Growth Market, policy and financing infrastructure is also being built in the current cycle. Risk mitigation facilities, blended finance structures, and government mandates for geothermal development are taking shape now. Technology companies that establish relationships within this ecosystem during the current phase are positioned to scale as next generation systems reach readiness.

What We Are Looking For

Within the Antares framework, geothermal technology investment in Asia sits within an industrial performance thesis, using the same lens we apply across our energy systems portfolio. It reflects a structural alignment between a resource that is abundant and geographically concentrated in Asia, a demand profile shaped by the convergence of energy and computation, a technology transition that moves from conventional systems toward next generation access and efficiency, and a regional ecosystem that is actively preparing to deploy these technologies at scale.

We are looking for founders working on the specific technical problems that Asia’s operators have revealed through their own behaviour: drilling efficiency and cost reduction in geothermal-specific geological conditions, subsurface characterisation that reduces exploration risk at scale, binary and ORC efficiency improvements that improve project economics without new wells, and reservoir stimulation and permeability engineering that expands the viable resource base.

We are particularly interested in founders who understand that the customer acquisition challenge in this market is as technically demanding as the product itself. The operators are sophisticated, the procurement cycles are long, and the path from technology demonstration to embedded asset contract requires navigating institutional structures that most deep-tech founders have not encountered. We have seen how this works across adjacent sectors, and we bring that context to the conversations we have with founders in this space.

The buyer has changed, and the operators are responding. The technology supply chain that serves them is being built right now, and the companies that establish themselves in this ecosystem during the current phase are the ones positioned to scale when the demand signal fully arrives.

If you are building in this space, we would welcome the conversation.

On March 24, 2026, in Sydney, Antares Ventures co-hosted a closed-door session titled Climate & Energy Technology in APAC: The Next Frontier for Deployment with Vitality Capital Partners, bringing together a group of family offices and investors ahead of the Impact Investment Summit Asia Pacific 2026.

The discussion reflected a broader shift in the market. The urgency around allocating to energy systems is becoming more acute, shaped not only by climate considerations but also by geopolitics and security of supply.

At the same time, the future of energy and the future of AI and compute are becoming increasingly interdependent. As compute infrastructure scales, energy, materials, and industrial capacity are emerging as both core constraints and areas of investment opportunity.

This creates a particularly compelling opportunity set at the intersection of energy, compute, and industrial transformation, where innovation is beginning to unlock bottlenecks across ongoing capital expenditure cycles.

The session also highlighted that success in this space depends on accelerating commercial deployment in markets defined by capital intensity, system integration, and execution risk.

We extend our appreciation to Vitality Capital Partners as well as to all participants for contributing to a candid and high-quality exchange. Special acknowledgement is also given to Johnny Kahlbetzer (Twynam) for sharing the family office investor perspective during the discussion.

What happens when frontier innovation meets Asia’s real economy?

Earlier this week, our Founder & Managing Partner Michael Gryseels joined a closed-door Founders’ Roundtable Lunch, “Shaping the APAC Green Energy Narrative,” alongside Tan Wooi Leong , PMP (SJ Group) and Fei Xiaojing (The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet), bringing together founders building across energy storage, hydrogen, advanced materials, and natural systems.

In the discussion, Michael emphasized a central point: the next phase of the energy transition will be shaped less by capital and more by how systems actually perform.

Across Asia, large-scale investment in energy and compute infrastructure is already underway. But as demand rises from electrification, urban growth, and advanced computing, the real limits are reliability, power quality, efficiency, and integration with live industrial systems.

Thank you to BLOCK71 and NUS Enterprise teams for convening a thoughtful conversation between founders and leaders at the frontier of this shift.

Innovation often starts with the promise of new capability. System performance shows what they can really do as they scale.

If you are building science-driven technologies that measurably improve system performance across Asia’s growth markets, we welcome the opportunity to connect. Connect with us | Explore our thesis

How does AI scale when it collides with physical constraints in Asia?

Singapore, February 12, 2026, Antares Ventures and the CleanAI Initiative convened a closed-door dialogue to examine how capital allocation, frontier technologies, and infrastructure deployment are navigating the challenges and opportunities arising from the AI & clean economy transition.

Across the region, AI is no longer confined to the digital layer. It is reshaping electricity demand, cooling loads, land and water-use decisions, and industrial integration, embedding advanced computing directly into energy, water, and manufacturing systems. A full house and strong demand for the event signaled that they are firmly on the agenda of capital and industry.

In his keynote, our founder, Michael Gryseels, highlighted that Asia’s growth markets surface these pressures early. High demand and dense infrastructure mean that energy and computing now operate as one system, where performance under real operating conditions determines whether scale is viable.

We thank Enterprise Singapore (Emily Liew), Google (Spencer Low), Temasek (Daniel Tay), Dell Technologies (Deepak Waghmare), Fasal (Shailendra Tiwari), Hydroleap (Mohammad Sherafatmand), Firmus Technologies (Tim Rosenfield), Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (Laurel West), Eco-Business (Jessica Cheam), and CleanAI Initiative (Nicholas Parker) for anchoring a thoughtful and substantive exchange, as well as the investors, corporate leaders, and founders who contributed candid perspectives.

Grateful for the partnership with CleanAI Initiative in advancing this dialogue, and for the support from the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada and Singapore Global Network (SGN).

Antares Ventures & Clean AI Initiative team

During the event, we also launched our Beyond Carbon & Silicon report, which outlines our framework for the convergence of energy and compute across Asia’s growth markets.

The implications for Asia’s industrial cycle are only beginning to unfold. How deeply is Deep-Tech embedded in shaping what comes next?
