About Us
Sinko ID is an Innovation & Development Center created to accelerate start-ups and scale-ups that are shaping the future of the energy transition and circular economy.
Acting as an Enabler, Facilitator, Participator, and Investor, Sinko ID supports innovative ventures from idea to scale, helping them turn breakthrough concepts into commercially viable and impactful solutions.
Positioned at the heart of a growing Sustainability Eco-system, Sinko ID brings together entrepreneurs, technology developers, industry partners, investors, and public stakeholders. Our role goes beyond providing space or advice — Sinko ID actively participates in innovation journeys, co-develops solutions, and invests in initiatives that contribute to a Low Carbon Focus and long-term value creation.
Sinko ID believes meaningful progress happens when infrastructure, capital, technology, and people are aligned. That belief is the foundation of everything we do.
Our Purpose
The transition to a low-carbon and circular economy requires more than ambition — it requires ecosystems that actively support innovation. Our purpose is to remove barriers for entrepreneurs and innovators by providing the environment, expertise, and resources needed to accelerate decarbonization and sustainable growth.
Sinko ID empowers companies to focus on what matters most: developing scalable solutions that deliver environmental impact, economic resilience, and long-term relevance.
Our Vision
Sinko ID envisions a future where sustainable innovation is not the exception, but the foundation of economic growth. A future where start-ups and scale-ups play a leading role in building resilient energy systems and circular value chains.
