Company Overview
Nuventura
HeadquartersBerlin, Germany
Founded2017
SizeApproximately 20 employees (as of 2021) and over 35 million euros in total investments, including a Series A funding of 25 million euros in September 2023 (source: eu-startups.com).
What They Do
Nuventura is a Berlin-based startup focused on developing the world's first commercially available medium voltage (MV) SF6-free gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) for the 36 kV range. This technology replaces the environmentally harmful SF6, a greenhouse gas that is 25,200 times more potent than CO2, with dry air that is free of moisture. This innovation enables simplified operation, maintenance, and sensor-based monitoring, aligning with the principles of a circular economy while complying with new regulations such as the EU F-Gas phase-out and the SF6 ban in California (source: startup-energy-transition.com). Nuventura's products include the 36 kV dry air GIS, with plans to expand into additional applications and voltage ranges. Target markets include utilities, renewable energy developers, and industrial operators facing increasing energy demand and SF6 regulations (source: apacoutlookmag.com).
Projects & Track Record
Key projects for Nuventura include an early pilot in 2018 with the German utility Westnetz/Innogy, which initiated the first commercial negotiations. In 2023, an installation of six interconnected switchgear with sensors was completed at the APEX Group's hydrogen power plant in Rostock-Laage, Germany, praised for its compact size and flexibility (source: eib.org). Additionally, Nuventura is conducting reference projects in New Zealand and developing products for China, while a new manufacturing center has been opened in Berlin to scale production (source: apacoutlookmag.com).
Recent Developments
In the past two years, Nuventura completed its Series A funding of 25 million euros in September 2023 to expand product portfolios and international operations, raising total funding to over 35 million euros (source: eu-startups.com). The company has opened a new manufacturing hall in Berlin and established Nuventura India Pvt. Ltd. in Chennai to support sub-assembly (source: apacoutlookmag.com).
Working There
Nuventura is hiring in engineering, business development, and manufacturing, with its headquarters in Berlin featuring a diverse workforce of various ethnicities, nationalities, and cultures to foster innovation (source: nuventura.com). The company culture emphasizes technical excellence and environmental responsibility, with the founders promoting a passionate, goal-oriented team dynamic dedicated to eliminating SF6 (source: startup-energy-transition.com).
