Voltiris<\/a> has received 4.8 million Swiss francs in a seed capital round for the power supply and electrification of high-tech greenhouses. The round was led by Zurich-based venture capital firm Equity Pitcher<\/a> and 3M Ventures<\/a>, the venture capital arm of 3M Company<\/a>, based in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA. The ClimateTech venture capital fund Satgana<\/a> from Luxembourg and several family offices have also invested.<\/p>\n

According to a statement<\/a> from Voltiris, the fresh funds will “accelerate the large-scale commercialisation and further performance optimisation of the company’s proprietary spectral filter technology and increase returns for farmers at a time when energy independence and decarbonisation are more valuable than ever”.<\/p>\n

According to Voltiris co-founder and CEO Nicolas Weber, the company is currently expanding its presence “in key European markets such as France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland. We are also looking forward to further expanding our technological lead and making solar-powered greenhouses a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture.” The company will also be expanding its team in Switzerland and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

In the past two years, Voltiris has entered into twelve commercial projects with renowned producers in Europe, entered into partnerships with energy suppliers such as Elektra Baselland and Romande Energie and received several industry awards. For example, Voltiris and its partners won the Greenhouse of the Future pitch competition<\/a> at the end of 2024 and were among the top 100 Swiss start-ups<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
