TaiSan operates out of a Cambridge battery lab and develops next-generation sodium batteries it says are more efficient than existing sodium-ion and lithium-ion rivals. The company targets applications including electric bikes, scooters, vehicles and power tools. Founded and led by Sanzhar Taizhan, a former Kazakhstani chess champion, TaiSan has kept several breakthroughs in stealth while progressing its electrochemistry. Financially, the startup has raised €1.7M in pre-seed funding and has just closed a £4.65M seed round that includes a £700,000 Innovate UK grant. TaiSan plans to use the new capital to enhance battery performance and begin pilot testing with manufacturers. The company intends to bring its sodium-battery benefits to a mainstream audience.

Energiot develops a new generation of piezoelectric, self-powering IoT sensors that harvest energy from power lines to avoid batteries and maintenance, paired with data-as-a-service and an analytics (SaaS) platform for grid operators. Its patented technology targets deployment across high-, medium- and low-voltage networks and aims to enable functions such as failure prevention and Dynamic Line Rating. The company has completed sixteen projects with ten European electricity operators, including Iberdrola, Red Eléctrica de España, Enel and Alliander, and has recently converted some pilots into contracts with Iberdrola and Litgrid. Energiot employs fourteen people and currently operates in markets including Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, Lithuania and the Netherlands. Planned next steps include industrialising hardware, scaling commercial deployment, launching drone-based installation, and integrating an onboard wind sensor to improve measurement accuracy.

ROSI develops and operates industrial recycling processes for end-of-life photovoltaic modules to recover high-purity materials such as silver, silicon, copper, aluminium and glass. The company operates an initial industrial site, ROSI Alpes, and is advancing a new fully standardised, highly automated plant in Teruel, Spain with a planned capacity of 10,000 tonnes per year. ROSI’s INSPIRE-PV project is supported by CINEA under the European Innovation Fund and aims to supply recycled raw materials to strengthen the European photovoltaic supply chain. Management has been strengthened with the April 1, 2026 appointment of Thierry Galvez as Production Site Director of ROSI Alpes to drive industrial performance and operational excellence. ROSI Alpes was also selected by eco-organisation Soren to recycle solar panels collected in France in coming years. Financially, ROSI recently secured over €20 million through a Series B and grants, with participation from strategic industrial and investment partners including InnoEnergy, CMA CGM, the EIC, G3T, Finadvice and other family offices.

Geolinks Services is a Paris-based provider of FlowTerra, a dynamic passive seismic subsurface monitoring solution rooted in CNRS research. The platform captures and analyzes passive seismic data to render near real-time 3D images of underground formations, enabling safer mineral extraction, improved water-table management, secure CO₂ sequestration, and exploration of natural hydrogen resources. By offering continuous, high-resolution monitoring, FlowTerra aims to make industrial operations more sustainable and compliant with environmental standards. The company is led by co-founders Frédéric Moinet (CEO) and Jean-Charles Ferran (President). In February 2026, Geolinks Services secured $7.1 million in new capital. The proceeds will fund the commercial launch of FlowTerra later in 2026 and support key hires across technical and commercial teams. This latest financing positions the company to transition from R&D to revenue generation as it targets customers in energy, mining, and carbon-capture markets.
