  Easyrain develops an automotive-oriented, modular safety ecosystem to detect and counter aquaplaning and improve low-grip driving conditions. Its stack comprises the AIS hardware platform that restores grip in wet conditions, the DAI software virtual sensor for safety and ADAS detection/calibration, and the ERC cloud data platform. Led by CEO and founder Giovanni Blandina, the company plans to industrialize AIS with a leading Tier‑1 supplier and reach production-ready status for AIS Proto-B by autumn 2024. DAI is scheduled for production in late 2025 and is being developed to evolve from a virtual sensor into a full ADAS detection and calibration platform to enhance autonomous driving in low-grip conditions. Easyrain will use the new funding to expand the team and accelerate development and market launch of DAI while industrializing the Aquaplaning Intelligent Solution. The company has raised a total of €15.8m across three funding rounds.

  Enerbrain develops an IoT energy-retrofit solution that applies plug-and-play sensors and a regulation device to optimize ventilation, heating and cooling using AI-driven algorithms. Its system measures temperature, humidity, CO2, pollutants and occupant presence and is compatible with all HVAC systems. The technology is sold as a one-stop energy-saving platform aimed at utilities and customers across sectors including airports, malls, supermarkets, schools, offices and hospitals. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Torino, Italy, Enerbrain currently delivers solutions in 13 markets and operates three offices in Europe and Asia. The company reported a record year with revenues growing more than 300% year-on-year. Enerbrain plans to use recent funding to strengthen international market position, develop new business models and expand R&D into energy transition and air-quality applications. Enerbrain develops an IoT energy-retrofit solution that turns wasteful buildings into smarter, healthier and more sustainable ones. The system uses plug-and-play sensors compatible with all HVAC systems to measure outdoor and indoor temperature, relative humidity, CO2, pollutants and occupant counts. A device and machine-learning algorithms regulate ventilation, heating and cooling in real time and continuously refine programming to eliminate waste. The company reports that two days of installation can permanently cut energy consumption by about 30% while improving indoor air quality and thermal comfort. Enerbrain has commercial traction, including contracts with multi-utility IREN and a project to retrofit 89 Turin City Council buildings expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 1,400 tonnes. Founded in 2015 and based in Turin, Enerbrain won the EIT Digital Challenge 2018 and joined the EIT Digital Accelerator to support international growth. After closing a €2M financing round, the company plans to use the funds to accelerate international expansion and develop new patents in the energy efficiency sector.
