Tech Tour Energy & Decarbonisation 2025: Connecting Innovators Driving Europe’s Energy Transition

Tech Tour Energy & Decarbonisation 2025 took place on 26–27 November 2025 in Essen, Germany. The event brought together over 250 senior-level participants, including 60 selected companies and more than 140 seasoned investors for two days of high-level exchanges and targeted networking.

Investors participating in the programme have contributed to €196+ billion in total investments, while the selected companies have already raised €538 million to date. See more event data here.

The event combined deep market insights with practical investor perspectives through a keynote on solving the scaling funding gap and a panel discussion on secure, digital and dual-use infrastructure for Europe’s energy transition. Participants engaged in more than 300 curated One2One meetings, and companies pitched across nine tech tracks spanning 9 tech tracks, including Advanced Mobility, Battery Value Chain, Carbon Management Services & AI, Future Grid, Green Energy Production and Storage, Hydrogen Economy & Industry Offtake, Renewable Carbon, and Industrial Heat Recovery.

Eleven companies were recognised as Top Presenters for their outstanding pitches and innovation leadership.

Top Presenting Companies

ACT Blade develops ultra-light, modular wind turbine blades using a patented tensioned-textile design that reduces weight and increases blade length. This innovation boosts energy output and lowers manufacturing footprints, enabling more sustainable and cost-efficient wind energy generation.

Co-reactive pioneers CO₂ mineralisation technology to produce carbon-negative supplementary cementitious materials. It transforms captured CO₂ into high-performance construction materials that strengthen concrete, store carbon permanently, and enable low-carbon building at industrial scale.

EExion Energy develops molecular-carbon battery technology that eliminates reliance on rare metals, offering a local, scalable, recyclable and geopolitically resilient alternative to LFP. Its functionalised carbon chemistry enables safe, low-cost, high-performance batteries with potential applications in other climate-critical systems.

FluoRok creates breakthrough fluorochemical manufacturing processes that eliminate hazardous reagents and use industrial fluorinated waste. Its technology cuts CO₂ emissions and costs while enabling local, sustainable production of critical materials for batteries and other energy-transition applications.

H2SITE provides on-site hydrogen production, purification and recovery using palladium–silver alloy membrane reactor technology. It reduces transport and storage needs by cracking carriers like ammonia and methanol directly at the point of use.

HyperHeat delivers an all-electric industrial heater capable of reaching 2,000°C. It offers a scalable, efficient and cost-competitive alternative to fossil-fuel-based high-temperature process heat for heavy industries aiming to decarbonise.

K2 Mobility offers an AI-powered platform for electrified commercial fleets, optimising charging operations across depots, hubs and routes. It improves reliability, enhances energy efficiency and strengthens cost management for logistics and transit operators.

NeoCarbon is an integrated carbon capture company that helps industrial sites turn waste heat into value through on-site CO₂ capture. It focuses on applications in datacenters, desalination and e-fuels, providing CO₂ supply for these and similar uses.

Ore Energy develops iron-air long-duration energy storage systems using abundant, low-cost materials. Its technology delivers up to 100 hours of clean energy storage, offering an ultra low cost, critical raw material free solution for grid-scale resilience.

Prets provides embedded financing infrastructure for home energy upgrades, enabling homeowners to calculate ROI and compare subsidies and financing options. Its neutral, multi-provider platform allows applications to be completed directly within retailer and installer checkout flows.

SiriNor develops zero-emission electric jet propulsion systems for aviation and advanced mobility. Its technology aims to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions while reducing operational costs across aircraft, UAV, eVTOL and next-generation transport vehicles.
