enspired is an Austrian energy technology company specializing in the optimization of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across European power markets. The company uses AI, machine learning, and real-time data to maximize battery efficiency, revenue, and lifespan while supporting grid stability and renewable energy integration.

According to the company, enspired operates one of Europe’s fastest automated trading and optimization platforms, managing over 1 GW of assets. Its technology enables the simultaneous optimization of batteries and other power assets across wholesale, control reserve, and ancillary service markets.

“With the strategic support of Future Energy Ventures as our new investor, we’re perfectly positioned to accelerate our growth and introduce several innovative use cases very soon. Their expertise in the energy sector and commitment to our vision make them an ideal partner for our next phase of expansion,” says enspired CEO and Co-founder Jürgen Mayerhofer.

The round baked by Future Energy Ventures, with participation from existing investors Zouk Capital, EnBW New Ventures, Banpu NEXT, PUSH VC, and 360 Capital.

enspired has taken the first step in its global expansion through a partnership with Banpu NEXT, a net-zero solutions provider in the Asia-Pacific region that is developing battery energy storage projects in Japan.

The new capital will empower enspired to push further the boundaries of what is possible in AI-powered flexibility optimization, creating a new paradigm for how the world’s energy is managed.
