A 2020 spin-off from the ETA research group at the PTW Institute of TU Darmstadt, etaONE uses digital twins and predictive analytics to control complex energy infrastructures in real time, covering cooling, heating, ventilation, storage, microgrids and flexible on-site generation, adapting to temperature swings and energy pricing. The claimed results are specific: average savings of 20 to 50 percent, and at the Merck Darmstadt site electricity consumption for cooling in an optimised plant segment fell by an average of 21 percent within three months. The Series A totals EUR 16 million: EUR 8 million led by Alstin Capital with ebm-papst as co-lead in November 2024, then an EUR 8 million extension led by M12, the Microsoft venture fund, in October 2025. Headcount doubled to 76 at Darmstadt within 15 months before opening a San Francisco Bay Area office.
