Cloover Adds $100M to Scale AI-Powered Home Energy Across Europe
Europe’s energy transition is usually discussed in enormous numbers: gigawatts of solar, millions of heat pumps, national climate targets and billions of euros in infrastructure. For a homeowner, however, the decision can become much smaller and much more uncomfortable. A family can understand exactly why solar panels, a battery or a heat pump makes sense […]
Nexeon Raises £100M to Scale Silicon Anode Battery Technology
Silicon has always looked like the obvious answer. It can hold around 10 times more lithium by mass than graphite, which makes it extraordinarily attractive for lithium-ion batteries. The problem is what happens when it actually does the job. Silicon expands as it charges, contracts as it discharges, and can gradually destroy the electrode around […]
Oshen Raises €4.27M to Scale Autonomous Ocean Robot Swarms
Oshen is building for one of the planet’s largest blind spots. Oceans cover most of Earth, yet vast areas are still observed only intermittently because ships, buoys, satellites, and crewed missions cannot provide persistent coverage everywhere. The Plymouth-based company is trying to change that with fleets of small autonomous robots that can stay at sea […]
Nanolope Raises €800K to Turn Buildings Into Thermal Batteries
Nanolope wants the surfaces already surrounding people inside a building to do more than divide rooms. The Berlin deep-tech company has developed retrofit panels that absorb excess heat as indoor temperatures rise and release it again when temperatures fall, effectively turning ceilings, walls and floors into passive thermal storage. Its target is the enormous stock […]
