Every day, Global University Venturing rounds up the smaller investments from across the university innovation ecosystem in its deal net.
Ampeers Energy, a Germany-based energy grid management software spinout of applied research network Fraunhofer-Society, publicly emerged on Wednesday with a seven-figure euro seed sum (€1m = $1.1m) from Fraunhofer and assorted energy-sector angels. Founded in May 2019, the spinout’s software will cater to decentralised energy networks which operate independently of the local grid, with features such as district-level energy management and the ability to control electric vehicle charging. The seed capital has been earmarked for product development and market entry.
