Voltiris Secures CHF 3 Million Through the Swiss Technology Fund to Accelerate Commercial Expansion Across Europe

Voltiris has secured CHF 3 million in financing through the Swiss Technology Fund, marking a major milestone in the company’s commercial expansion across Europe.

‍

The funding will support the industrialisation of Voltiris’ spectral filtering solar technology and accelerate the deployment of industrial-scale solar projects across Europe by the end of 2026. Over the past year, Voltiris successfully demonstrated its technology at industrial scale, validating the agronomic performance, energy generation potential, and operational viability of its solution. Building on these results, the company is now focused on scaling commercial deployment across its core European markets.

Five projects are scheduled for summer 2026 across Switzerland, France, and the Netherlands, marking a significant acceleration in commercial activity. The company’s selection into the Swiss Technology Fund portfolio further reinforces the technological and environmental credibility of its solution as deployment activity continues to scale.

The Swiss Technology Fund supports companies combining technological innovation with measurable climate impact. Voltiris’ patented spectral filtering technology transforms greenhouse roofs into dual-use infrastructure by transmitting the wavelengths required for photosynthesis while redirecting unused light onto solar panels to generate renewable electricity.

The solution enables greenhouse operators to produce clean electricity directly from existing greenhouse infrastructure without compromising crop performance. As high-tech greenhouses accelerate electrification investments, access to clean, energy-independent, and financially competitive energy is becoming increasingly critical to maintaining profitability and operational resilience.

Voltiris is targeting the rapidly expanding global market for high-tech greenhouses, which today represents more than 70,000 hectares worldwide, a CHF 50Bn opportunity.

As Nicolas Weber, Co-Founder & CEO of Voltiris, explains:

“Greenhouse electrification requires energy solutions that are both economically and operationally viable for growers. Following successful industrial-scale deployments, we are now focused on accelerating commercial rollout across Europe, starting with five projects to be installed in summer 2026. Support from the Technology Fund will be instrumental in scaling that deployment.”

This momentum follows Voltiris’ CHF 4.8 million seed financing round led by EquityPitcher and 3M in January 2025, reflecting continued confidence from investors and commercial partners in the company’s growth trajectory. Following the establishment of a strong commercial foundation across Europe, Voltiris is also exploring expansion opportunities in additional international greenhouse markets.
