e-peas raises €19.2M to make batteryless IoT more practical
e-peas is scaling ultra-low-power semiconductor technology that helps connected devices harvest ambient energy from light, heat, vibration and radio signals.
The overlooked bottleneck in the Internet of Things is often not connectivity. It is the battery.
What happened
e-peas raised a €19.2M round led by Crédit Mutuel Innovation, alongside SFPI and existing investors.
The fabless semiconductor company develops ultra-low-power technology that helps devices harvest ambient energy from sources such as light, radio-frequency signals, vibration and heat.
Why it matters
Distributed sensors become expensive when batteries need manual replacement.
In industrial sites, buildings and remote infrastructure, the maintenance cost of visiting a device can exceed the cost of the sensor itself.
Energy-harvesting chips can extend device lifetimes and potentially make some connected systems far less dependent on conventional batteries.
The bigger picture
Edge computing needs a more sustainable power layer.
As billions of devices move into physical environments, energy efficiency becomes infrastructure rather than a feature. e-peas is building the semiconductor layer behind that transition.
