About OBI Group Holding

OBI is one of Europe's largest home improvement and DIY retail chains, based in Germany.

How OBI Group Holding works with startups

OBI SQUARED is OBI's venture unit and includes a venture clienting arm that works with startups as a real first customer rather than only investing. It piloted and tested home-renovation startup 42 Watt's solution under real operating conditions before OBI took a majority stake in 2026. The unit centers on Prop Tech, Climate Tech and Circular Retail themes tied to OBI's own stores and value chain.
