About encentive

encentive is a Hamburg industrial energy software company whose flexOn AI platform acts as a control centre for medium and large industrial users (≥2 GWh/year), aligning bidirectional energy flows with renewable availability to cut electricity costs (press cites up to ~20%) and CO₂ by shifting refrigeration, heating, batteries and production lines in real time and creating virtual power plants without new hardware. Deployments and partners include Metro Logistics, Dachser and Klingele, with utilities also using the platform for flexibility. In September 2025 encentive raised €6.3 million in seed funding led by General Catalyst, with Summiteer, SIVentures, Vireo Ventures, HelloWorld and angels Stefan Müller and Bernhard Niesner, bringing total disclosed financing to about €9 million after a prior ~€2.7 million round, to grow AI and engineering teams, deepen the industrial platform and expand internationally.
