Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN) Incubator will host the headquarters of Cleanwatts, a recent Portuguese company in the area of clean and renewable energy technology, which develops innovative solutions in the energy transition for companies and local communities around the world. Cleanwatts recently raised 25 million in international private investment, which shows the value of its technology.

"The IPN, as a business incubator, plays a vital role in Coimbra's growing technology scene and we are delighted to have our team working in this collaborative and innovative environment," says Soma Demeny, Cleanwatts' Human Resources Director. "I hope that the innovative, entrepreneurial and transformative spirit of IPN can further inspire the Cleanwatts team to continue its work in accelerating the energy transition, such an urgent and forward-looking mission," he adds.

The President of the IPN, João Gabriel Silva, is pleased with the integration of the company in the Incubator: "We are excited to welcome Cleanwatts in our incubator. Cleanwatts' clean energy technology is a valuable addition to our community of emerging companies and we look forward to contributing to its development. The transition to renewable energy is essential for our society, as climate change and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have shown. The technology that Cleanwatts provides is crucial to enable an accelerated use of this type of energy."

Cleanwatts joins a growing list of companies that have chosen the IPN incubator to accelerate their growth and promote innovation in Portugal.
