Eatron Technologies

Eatron Technologies is a software and technology company founded in 2018 by Dr. Umut Genc, Can Kurtulus, and Amedeo Bianchimano. Headquartered in Warwick, UK, with an R&D center in Istanbul, Turkey, the company specializes in developing intelligent software for the automotive industry, focusing on battery management systems (BMS) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). The founders leveraged their extensive backgrounds in automotive engineering and control systems to create the company. CEO Dr. Umut Genc previously held leadership roles at AVL and has a Ph.D. in Control Systems from the University of Cambridge, while CTO Can Kurtulus has over 15 years of experience in BMS algorithms and software development.

The company's core offering is an AI-powered, edge-to-cloud connected software platform designed to optimize the performance, safety, and durability of batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and other applications. Eatron's business model centers on providing this software to vehicle and battery manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier-1 suppliers. Its technology implements an intelligent software layer on top of existing battery control hardware, combining physics-based models with AI and machine learning to deliver precise predictions about a battery's state of charge (SoC), state of health (SoH), and remaining useful life (RUL). This allows for continuous, over-the-air (OTA) updates and analytics, enabling manufacturers to improve battery performance throughout a vehicle's lifespan.

Since its inception, Eatron has achieved several key milestones, including securing a seed investment in 2020, followed by an $11 million Series A funding round in 2021 led by MMC Ventures. In January 2024, the company completed its Series A2 funding round, with lead investment from LG Technology Ventures, along with support from other investors like the Türkiye Development Fund (TDF) and 100th Year Venture Capital. This funding is aimed at accelerating global growth and the development of its software platform. Eatron has established partnerships with major industry players, including Infineon, to integrate its software with advanced microcontrollers and with companies like Oshkosh Corporation, which invested in the company to enhance its own EV product lines. The company serves a global client base with customers in Japan, Germany, and India.
