Resourcly provides global manufacturers with an AI-driven SaaS tool that ingests simple CSV exports from existing ERP or PLM systems, detects duplicate or overlapping parts, standardises metadata, and flags qualified substitute components. By creating a unified dataset, the software increases part availability, prevents production delays, and can improve working capital by up to 15 % while boosting revenue potential by as much as 20 %. Beyond data clean-up, the platform facilitates resale or internal sharing of surplus stock through trusted networks, turning idle inventory into liquidity. The company is already used by large enterprise customers and positions itself as “real-world AI for manufacturing.” Future plans include hiring across engineering, product, and sales and expanding the platform’s reach throughout Europe’s manufacturing hubs. Resourcly is backed by Techstars and supported by advisors with deep industrial and supply-chain expertise.

Voltfang develops high-performance European battery storage systems built from requalified EV batteries for industrial, commercial and grid-scale customers. Its core product pairs energy-dense battery modules with an intelligent energy management system, Venma, which uses AI to maximise self-consumption, lower electricity costs and enable participation in energy markets. Customers include Aldi Nord, Alba Group, Fiege Logistik and Goldbeck. The company opened the "Voltfang Future Fab" in Aachen to scale production and enable capacity up to 1 GWh, and aims to deliver an additional 250 MWh of storage across Europe by the end of 2026. Storage capacity grew from 5 MWh in 2023 to 20 MWh in 2024, and Voltfang targets supporting the replacement of the Weisweiler coal-fired power plant by 2030. By using second-life and surplus batteries sourced from the European automotive industry, the company seeks to reduce reliance on Asian supply chains and foster a resilient European battery industry. Voltfang develops green energy storage systems built using requalified electric vehicle batteries, pairing hardware with an advanced Energy Management System. The company aims to broaden its product offerings and invest further in its EMS to maximize battery performance. Voltfang targets commercial/industrial and grid-scale applications and emphasizes circular-economy principles and reuse/second-life concepts. Management plans to deploy an additional 40 MWh of battery capacity by 2025. The company recently completed an oversubscribed financing round, which it closed within three months, strengthening its growth outlook and market position in sustainable energy infrastructure. Voltfang, based in Aachen, builds stationary energy storage systems from used electric vehicle batteries and uses AI-based software to evaluate battery longevity. Its operating system and continuous monitoring aim to make second-life batteries as durable as new ones, backed by a 10-year "Batteryflat" guarantee. The company has completed successful pilot projects in Germany and lists Aldi NORD and Schaltbau among its clients. Voltfang says the systems can be intelligently deployed to amortise batteries quickly and support grid stability amid rising electrification. Management highlights the ability to connect urgently needed capacity to the grid to help avoid blackouts. The company has raised €5 million to scale its production.

Magazino is a Munich, Germany–based robotics company that develops mobile robots and ACROS.AI, a software platform for intelligent robots that can be used with third-party hardware. The company positions ACROS.AI as a core software layer for future robots and for use across different hardware platforms. Magazino plans to use new capital to expand its international sales activities and to accelerate the expansion of ACROS.AI. The firm closed a €21 million Series B financing to support those efforts. Management says the investment underscores strong market demand for both its robots and its software and will help Magazino assume a central role in mobile-robotics software. Magazino develops autonomous mobile robots—notably TORU and the heavy-duty SOTO—designed to work alongside people in e-commerce distribution and storage facilities. SOTO handles boxes of more than 20 pounds and up to around two feet across, while TORU is intended for smaller payloads such as shoeboxes. The robots autonomously load multiple target boxes into internal storage and navigate to drop-off locations using real-time 3D imaging. Magazino is investing heavily in its sensing and real-time operation stack, called ACROS, to enable safe, cooperative operation in ordinary shelves, lanes, and tables. The company was founded in 2014 and has deployed systems with major clients; by 2016 it had landed customers like Fiege. Fiege remains a customer and recently ordered 30 additional robots. Magazino is a Munich-based company that develops, builds and sells innovative storage and dispensing machines enabling efficient handling of individual items. Its systems use a 3D camera to determine size, shape, position and ideal gripping points. An algorithm calculates optimal space utilization and an IT platform provides administration and management of the hardware. The startup emerged from the Technische Universität München and was supported by Exist and Flügge since 2013. It already counts customers in the pharmacy and fulfillment center industries. Magazino completed a seed financing round to support its operations and product development.
