VREY offers an integrated EnergyOS-style platform that measures tenant shares of on-site solar output, handles billing as a certified smart metering operator and billing partner, and removes the need for property owners to assume energy supplier responsibilities. The platform supports integration of batteries, heat pumps and EV charging infrastructure and is designed to operationalise Germany’s new "Gemeinschaftliche Gebäudeversorgung" framework. VREY currently manages a three-digit number of projects across all 16 German federal states and serves private landlords, housing cooperatives, project developers and large real estate companies. For installations it works with partners selected by its customers. The company has a team of around 20 employees and will use recent funding to grow headcount and further develop its product. VREY aims to scale deployment in the multi-family segment and expand the energy use cases available to property owners.

Capsule Corporation develops water-based electric propulsion systems, with its core product WaterCube designed for CubeSat and smallsat platforms. The company is advancing a higher-performance WaterCube+ variant alongside the baseline unit, targeting TRL 5 for WaterCube+ by Q1 2027. Capsule plans an in-orbit demonstration of WaterCube on a SpaceX Falcon 9 in Q4 2026 as a stepping stone to commercial deployment. It aims to enter the market in early 2027 and is investing in a scalable production chain with standardized assembly to serve growing global demand. Financially, the company recently raised 800,000 in a seed round backed by CDP Venture Capital SGR (via Takeoff Accelerator), kopa ventures, Moonstone Venture Capital and business angels. Francesco Marino and Ivan Nizzola are cited as CEO and COO and co-founders involved in driving the company's industrialization and commercialization efforts.

AIRMO is a Berlin- and Luxembourg-based space-tech startup developing an active greenhouse-gas monitoring instrument that pairs a SWIR imager with micro-LIDAR, miniaturised for use on small satellites. The system delivers roughly double the accuracy of existing solutions and can spot methane leaks as small as a car from orbit. Today AIRMO’s technology is already flown on drones and aircraft for commercial monitoring missions across Europe, Central Asia and the MENA region, serving energy majors such as Uniper, Total and ESCE. Backed by the European Space Agency, the company plans its first satellite launch in 2027 to enable continuous, global methane surveillance of millions of energy assets. Proceeds from its recent seed round will also fund expansion of its airborne operations and the establishment of a local MENA presence. While revenue figures are not disclosed, the fresh capital strengthens AIRMO’s balance sheet as it transitions from pilot projects to scaled commercial deployments.

Growth plans include equipping 3,000 apartment buildings by 2025 (a 300% increase) and expanding into France and the Benelux region. Green Fusion also plans a dedicated unit to integrate renewable energy systems into its technology to future-proof heating infrastructures. Green Fusion builds a cloud-based energy manager for the intelligent control of heat, electricity and e-mobility in buildings. It focuses on hybrid heating systems such as heat pumps plus gas boilers and on coupling to photovoltaic systems and electric vehicle charging stations. The company uses machine learning to increase system efficiency, enable predictive maintenance and aims to improve efficiency by up to 20%, reducing costs and CO2 emissions. Its software targets housing corporations, private owners, contractors, municipal utilities and other operators of building energy supply systems. The first projects in the real estate industry have already been implemented. Green Fusion recently secured €225K in pre-seed funding and is expanding its team to further develop its product.
