Energiot, a promising smart grid startup supported by EIT InnoEnergy, successfully concludes its investment round
Energiot, a Spanish startup at the forefront of developing self-powered Internet of Things (IoT) devices for smart grid management, has successfully concluded a seed funding round. The funding, led by a syndicate of climate technology-focused investors with EIT InnoEnergy together with Axon Partners Group and COREangels Climate underscores a shared commitment to innovation and the transition toward sustainable energy.
Energiot mission
In anticipation of a significant increase in global electricity demand and the creation or replacement of 80 million kilometers of power lines by 2040, Energiot’s mission is to digitalize and modernize the electricity grid. The increase in renewable energy production, coupled with increased electrification and the rise of electric vehicles, has resulted in grid congestion costing billions annually.
To address these challenges, Energiot aims to optimize grid operation and maintenance through the deployment of IoT devices that are equipped with multiple sensors and contribute to real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance, enhancing the overall efficiency and sustainability of grid assets.
