Investment for the continued fast scaling of its innovative battery system technologies
Arnhem, Netherlands: Navus Ventures and Zenon Energy today announced the start of their partnership and investment in the Netherlands-based energy storage infrastructure business Zenon Energy.
Zenon develops, designs, and delivers complete sustainable energy infrastructure solutions.
The company has developed its own energy storage architectures using titanium and LFP chemistries with proprietary airflow and battery construction techniques. The company was founded by Duan van t Slot and Christian Giannini and has gained exceptional advisors and investors with experience in energy infrastructure and a global network, and is currently supplying the construction, horticulture, industrial and retail sectors.
“The investment is primarily aimed at increasing our production capability and delivery speed,” says Duan van t Slot, Director at Zenon Energy. “We are limited at this stage only by our production rate as our backlog extends 6 months and our pipeline is growing rapidly.”
“The investment in Zenon Energy perfectly fits Navus’ focus on high-tech start-ups that drive sustainable transitions in food and energy,” says Jaap Zijlstra, investment manager at Navus Ventures. “Navus will actively support Zenon in its continued technology, supply chain, commercial and strategic development.”
