German cleantech company Voltfang has successfully closed its Series A financing round, raising over €8 million in total, including €800,000 in secured grants. The round was led by Dutch deep-tech venture capital firm FORWARD.one, with significant participation from Interzero. Existing investors, including PT1, AENU, Helen Ventures, Daphni, Aurum Impact, and Maximilian Viessmann, reaffirmed their commitment by also contributing to the funding. This latest investment is set to propel Voltfang’s innovative energy storage solutions, further solidifying its position as a pioneer in green energy infrastructure.

Funding to Accelerate Growth and Innovation

The oversubscribed financing round marks a significant milestone for Voltfang, enabling the company to broaden its product offerings and invest further in its advanced Energy Management System. This system, which maximizes the power of Voltfang’s battery storage units, will allow for deeper market penetration across commercial, industrial, and grid-scale applications. With the additional capital, Voltfang aims to expand its capabilities, strengthen its market presence, and drive forward its mission to lead in the transition to a sustainable energy economy.

"We are extremely pleased to have FORWARD.one and Interzero on board as partners. They bring not only financial support but also invaluable expertise in deep-tech and circular economy solutions,” said David Oudsandji, CEO and co-founder of Voltfang. “Their insights will be instrumental as we continue to innovate and deliver cutting-edge energy storage systems."

Strategic Investors Align with Voltfang’s Mission

FORWARD.one, which led the round, expressed its enthusiasm for supporting Voltfang's growth. “Voltfang’s green and efficient energy storage technology aligns with our commitment to backing companies that address key challenges through a mix of hardware and software innovation. Their batteries not only advance Europe’s energy transition but also contribute to resource independence,” said Beau-Anne Chilla, climate tech investment lead at FORWARD.one. The firm is excited to support Voltfang’s continued development and global impact.

Interzero, a significant investor in this round, has a vision of creating a “world without waste” and views Voltfang’s sustainable approach to battery storage as a perfect fit for their zero-waste mission. Interzero, investing through its shareholders' family office, will not only contribute capital but also offer Voltfang access to a broad network in the circular economy space. This partnership will strengthen Voltfang’s growth trajectory and reinforce its sustainable business model.

Existing Investors Double Down on Voltfang’s Potential

Voltfang’s existing investors have demonstrated strong confidence in the company’s growth strategy, with many increasing their stakes during this round. Fabian Heilemann from AENU emphasized the crucial role of energy storage in supporting Europe’s power grid, which is under immense pressure due to the rapid expansion of renewable energy. "Expanding storage capacity is a fast and efficient solution to stabilize the grid, and Voltfang’s green energy storage systems are perfectly positioned to address this need,” Heilemann stated.

Voltfang’s CFO, Dr. Gerrit Janke, underscored the significance of this round’s success: “Closing the financing within just three months in such a challenging growth capital environment is a clear signal of the market’s confidence in our strategy, our team, and the solutions we offer.”

Voltfang's Green Energy Storage Technology

Voltfang’s energy storage systems are built from requalified electric vehicle (EV) batteries sourced from leading European automotive partners. These high-performance systems provide a sustainable solution for businesses and grid operators seeking to optimize energy use, reduce reliance on non-renewable sources, and manage peak loads effectively. With plans to deploy an additional 40 MWh of battery capacity by 2025, Voltfang is poised to play a key role in Europe’s energy transition.

By combining its advanced battery technology with its Energy Management System, Voltfang enables customers to maximize energy efficiency while significantly cutting costs and reducing CO2 emissions. The company’s approach exemplifies its commitment to sustainable innovation in the energy sector.

With the successful completion of its Series A funding round, Voltfang is positioned for significant growth, driven by the strong backing of new and existing investors. As the company scales its green energy storage solutions across Europe, it is set to play a pivotal role in the shift toward a sustainable energy future. Voltfang’s focus on circular economy principles, combined with its cutting-edge technology, puts it at the forefront of the clean energy revolution.

Founded in 2020, Voltfang has already established itself as a thought leader in battery storage technology, earning numerous industry awards and recognition, including the prestigious German Innovation Award. With this new injection of capital, Voltfang is well on its way to achieving its vision of providing sustainable energy storage solutions for Europe and beyond.
