  Participated · Equity · Jan 2026

  Anodine is a Gières-based cleantech startup that has developed an industrial process to upcycle and recharge electrolyzer electrodes, reducing the need for rare metals by half. The technology stems from ten years of research at Université Grenoble Alpes and the CNRS and is designed to lessen European dependence on Chinese-supplied electrodes while curbing global waste. With a seven-person team, the company plans to install a pilot line capable of producing 200,000 electrodes annually and to expand its commercial organization. Management’s longer-term goal is to become the leading European provider of sustainable electrodes for the hydrogen industry. In January 2026 Anodine closed a €2.5 million first funding round to finance the pilot facility and accelerate go-to-market efforts. The startup, founded in 2024, projects €2.5 million in revenue by 2027 as it moves from pilot to scaled production.
