During the first quarter of 2026, the startups backed by Elewit continued strengthening their growth and their capacity to impact in key areas such as energy, industrial reliability, advanced connectivity, and smart infrastructure. Through strategic partnerships, international recognition, and technological advances, the portfolio has continued positioning itself as a driving force of applied innovation.
In the field of industrial reliability and the protection of electrical assets, OktoGrid announced a strategic partnership with HEXPOL for the global deployment of its transformer monitoring technology across the group’s production plants. This solution, which enables continuous 24/7 monitoring and rapid installation, strengthens operational reliability, facilitates predictive maintenance, and enables data‑driven decision‑making without interrupting industrial activity.
On the other side, AssetCool and Splight have been recognised in the Global CleanTech 100 – 2026 ranking, which highlights the most innovative companies in clean technologies worldwide. Both companies were selected for their innovative solutions focused on making better use of existing infrastructure, thus contributing to a more efficient and sustainable energy transition.
In addition, as part of its activity, AssetCool held a Demo Day together with Elewit and Red Eléctrica in Seville, where the application of its Capacity‑1 platform was demonstrated under real operating conditions on an in‑service transmission infrastructure. The event brought together representatives and technical teams from various European transmission system operators, such as ELES (Slovenia), Elia (Belgium), Terna (Italy), and RTE (France), offering a collaborative environment to evaluate the technology on the ground.
In the area of connectivity and industrial digitalisation, Nearby Computing reached an agreement with Orange for the deployment and management of private 5G networks for enterprises. This collaboration will make it possible to move towards more scalable, efficient, and secure connectivity models, facilitating access to advanced communication and computing technologies. In addition, it includes the development of a platform that will allow customers to autonomously configure and manage their networks, integrating cloud and edge computing capabilities to meet growing demands for low latency and real‑time processing.
On the investment side, Cardumen Capitalcompleted the exit of Illumex following its acquisition by Nvidia, marking a significant milestone for the fund. This transaction strengthens its positioning within the international venture capital ecosystem and consolidates its track record, placing it among the leading funds globally in its category. Illumex, specialised in advanced data management solutions based on artificial intelligence, has developed technologies that optimise the use of information and improve business productivity.
Finally, Aerolaser System is participating in the European project RESIST, funded by the Horizon Europe programme, focused on improving the resilience of critical infrastructure. Within this framework, the company is developing an evolution of its LiDAR technology for integration into high‑altitude platforms, which will enable more precise monitoring of assets such as power lines or complex industrial environments, the detection of anomalies, and the optimisation of maintenance planning.
These milestones reflect the dynamism of Elewit’s portfolio and its contribution to the development of innovative solutions that drive the transformation of strategic sectors, from energy to digital and industrial infrastructure.
