Linkener has raised €7.5 million in a funding round led by Klima Energy Transition Fund, Alantra’s energy transition fund, with existing shareholder GoHub Ventures remaining on board.
Linkener has developed an Intelligent Energy Management System (SIGE) that uses proprietary remote metering technology to help businesses and organisations monitor, analyse and optimise their energy consumption.
The company sees significant opportunities for digitalisation and energy optimisation, particularly in the services sector, where monitoring and controlling consumption can generate savings of 20 per cent. Rising and volatile energy prices, alongside increasingly complex contracts and regulations, are also driving demand for tools that give businesses greater visibility and control over their energy costs.
José Ignacio Ruiz, CEO of Linkener, commented, “This funding round will allow us to accelerate the transformation of a highly fragmented sector, where energy management remains rooted in practices from 40 years ago. We want businesses to have reliable data and technology to understand how much they spend on energy, anticipate their costs and make better decisions.”
The investment will also support Linkener’s organic growth and acquisition strategy. The company plans to acquire and integrate complementary businesses, products and capabilities to expand its range of solutions and strengthen its technology and commercial operations.
