🚀 We are overjoyed to announce that Flow-nano, a pioneering Milan-based startup, has successfully secured a €1 million pre-seed round from Tech4Planet | Polo Nazionale di Trasferimento Tecnologico per la sostenibilità ambientale to enable the energy transition through renewables.
The funding will enable Flow-nano to scale its sustainable technology to make nanostructured electrodes and to demonstrate the lowest cost per unit of power and per unit of energy on flow battery prototypes, as their solution allow to work at a power density up to and more than three times that of the state of the art, which directly turns into a drastic reduction in the cost of flow batteries, one of the most promising technologies for storing energy from renewable sources.
Flow-nano is an innovative start-up founded in 2023, focused on nanotechnology-based solutions for the successful deployment of the energy transition. Flow-nano nanostructured electrodes point towards increasing the efficiency and reducing the cost of redox flow batteries, unlocking their potential and making them the most reliable and competitive technology for the Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) market, to unlock the energy transition through renewables, at a global level.
Congratulations to Flow-nano and welcome on board! 👏
