Axle Energy provides a software platform that connects distributed home energy assets with European electricity markets. It helps energy suppliers and hardware manufacturers tap into the flexibility of assets like electric vehicles, home batteries, and heat pumps so they can participate in demand-side response and other grid services. The platform aggregates and optimizes these assets to monetize flexibility, creating new revenue streams for partners while helping lower energy costs and reduce carbon emissions for end consumers.

In the dynamic European climate tech landscape, a wave of enthusiasm is building around pioneering startups that are blazing new trails toward sustainability. These companies are not only pushing the boundaries of technology but they are also driven by a mission to address the challenges of climate change, propelling us toward a more sustainable future.For those interested in staying up to date with the latest innovations, the question arises: amidst the vast array of over 30,000 climate tech startups active in this space, which truly stands out? To answer this, we turned to those in a privileged position— the prominent investors and VCs that are most active in this space.With all those conversations with founders and their teams, the due diligence done on the most promising startups, and in some cases, also the investments made, they are, therefore, certainly more informed about what’s happening in the market than most of us.Here, we’ve sought the insights of those specialising in climate tech investments – from the energy transition and the circular economy to sustainable and food production but also climate fintech and the blue economy. Specifically, we asked them which European climate tech startups they are particularly excited about and what sets these companies apart, whether it’s their technology, mission, or potential impact.But enough with this introduction, as it’s now time to turn our attention to their insights!Irena Spazzapan, General Manager at Systemiq CapitalSystemiq Capital is a London-based venture capital fund investing in early-stage climate tech startups.One interesting place where we see untapped (or, at least, less recognised) potential is in the datacentre. We’ve looked at companies developing low-power custom ASICs for big data applications and companies rethinking public cloud load balancing to account for the hour-by-hour swings in the carbon intensity of specific datacentres’ energy sources. Two companies we think are doing really interesting things are Corintis and ONiO.Corintis, spun out of EPFL in Lausanne, is developing a new approach to cooling high-power processor cores. Datacentres are one of the biggest global users of both energy and water due to the unfortunate tendency of silicon-based semiconductors to get really hot and incinerate themselves if not aggressively cooled
