    Company Overview

    Sweetch Energy

    Rennes, France

    2015

    Approximately 40 employees (source: preqin.com). The company has secured nearly 40 million euros in total funding by December 2023 (source: eu-startups.com).

    What They Do

    Sweetch Energy is a French deep-tech startup focused on osmotic energy generation, a non-intermittent renewable source derived from salinity gradients in estuaries and river deltas. Their patented INOD® technology utilizes high-efficiency eco-membranes in pressure-retarded osmosis systems to generate clean electricity 24/7, marking a viable commercial breakthrough after 50 years of research (source: eu-startups.com). Their products include modular power plants deployable at river mouths, with the first demonstrator under construction on the Rhône delta in partnership with CNR (source: eu-startups.com). Target markets extend to Europe and North America, focusing on utilities and industrial partners needing baseload renewables to complement intermittent sources like solar and wind (source: eu-startups.com).

    Projects & Achievements

    Although Sweetch Energy has not yet completed any fully commercial projects, its flagship project is the INOD® demonstrator on the Rhône delta, under development since at least 2023 with CNR. This site utilizes the salinity gradient of the estuary to test the technology, with 25 million euros allocated in December 2023 to complete it (source: eu-startups.com). Ongoing efforts include global expansion plans for Europe and North America, supported by a funding round of $15.5 million in October 2024 (source: cbinsights.com). Key clients and partners include CNR and EDF Group, providing strategic links for the development of osmotic technology (source: eu-startups.com).

    Recent Developments

    Over the past two years, Sweetch Energy closed a funding round of 25 million euros (~$27.3 million) in December 2023, led by Crédit Mutuel Impact, enabling the completion of the Rhône demonstrator and expansion of R&D (source: eu-startups.com). Another funding round of $15.5 million occurred in October 2024, bringing total funding to over $59 million across six rounds (source: cbinsights.com). Investments from EDF Pulse Ventures have strengthened ties since their investment in 2022, highlighting ongoing commitment to the development of osmotic energy (source: eu-startups.com).

    Working with Them

    Sweetch Energy offers roles within a team of ~40 people, including positions in engineering, business development, and leadership. The headquarters is located in Rennes, France, with potential remote work opportunities as part of the expansion into North America and Europe (source: f6s.com). The company culture reflects a high-growth startup environment, with a persistence of 10 years in R&D and an ambition supported by investors to become a global leader in osmotic energy (source: frenchtechjournal.com). Details on benefits are not publicly available, but the scale of funding suggests competitive packages for engineers and strategists in the renewable energy sector.
