Belgium's Wise raises $1.1M to tie together fragmented energy optimisation tools
What's the deal? Belgian startup WiseDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → has raised €1 million to build what it calls an "energy intelligence platform." The system aims to orchestrate solar panels, batteries, and optimisation software for industrial small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
What's the endgame? Wise wants to clean up a fragmented market where energy optimisation tools often operate in silos. Its platform coordinates these separate pieces of hardware and software so SMEs can manage energy use from a single layer.
Why now? Industrial SMEs face rising energy costs and growing pressure to manage self-generated power from assets like solar panels and batteries. A coordinating layer promises to squeeze more value from equipment many businesses already own.
The signal: The round is modest, but it points to demand for software that makes existing clean-energy hardware work harder rather than adding more of it. As more SMEs install solar and storage, the opportunity shifts toward orchestration — tying scattered tools into a coherent system.
