Voltalis has been selected to join the French Tech Next40/120, the French government’s flagship program recognising the 120 most promising startups with the potential to become global technology champions. This designation cements Voltalis’ position as a leading force in the energy transition and smart energy management sector.
Driving industrial-scale innovation in clean energy
Voltalis is transforming the way electricity is consumed and managed, with a technology model that combines artificial intelligence and energy optimisation at scale. Over the past two years, the company has secured over €200 million in funding from both French and international banks – a testament to the strength and maturity of its model.
A smarter, cleaner way to balance the grid
Voltalis has developed Europe’s only fully operational virtual power plant powered by real-time adjustments in household energy use. More than 1.5 million connected devices – primarily electric heaters and water tanks — are integrated into Voltalis’ platform and managed through its intelligent thermostat system. This enables electricity demand to be modulated in real time, with split-second precision, providing critical grid flexibility during consumption peaks or imbalances between supply and demand. It’s one of the most practical, cost-effective and scalable solutions to address the intermittency of renewables – helping to avoid blackouts, cut emissions, and accelerate the shift to a low-carbon future.
A European tech success story
Being named to the French Tech Next40/120 2025 marks a significant new chapter in Voltalis’ growth story. It reflects the company’s ambition to become the European leader in electricity flexibility, while expanding its reach globally with solutions that are scalable, affordable and easy to deploy. Headquartered in France, Voltalis is already active in the United Kingdom and is running projects in eight other countries. The company aims to equip 3 million homes and buildings by 2030.
Mathieu Bineau, CEO of Voltalis : «Joining the French Tech Next40/120 is a proud moment for Voltalis. It confirms that our model, blending AI and energy flexibility, is not only innovative and robust, but essential to the future of clean energy. We are proud to represent a home-grown French technology that is already delivering real impact and is ready to scale across Europe and the world. »
