Sizable Energy, a pioneer in long-duration ocean energy storage, has been recognized as one of the winners of the second edition of Encubator, the Climate Tech acceleration program organized by PoliHub – Innovation Park & Startup Accelerator of Politecnico di Milano and the Chamber of Commerce of Milan Monza Brianza Lodi.
EDISON’s grant will directly contribute to the deployment of Sizable’s next proof of concept (POC) at sea, at the Natural Ocean Engineering Laboratory (NOEL) of Università Mediterranea di Reggio Calabria, Italy. This milestone marks a crucial step toward validating Sizable’s offshore system under real marine conditions and accelerating the path to full-scale demonstration.
"Edison has a strong commitment to Open Innovation. Understanding and supporting new entrepreneurial initiatives for Deep Tech development serving the energy transition is part of our mission, with a focus on cooperation and early adoption on an industrial scale. In Sizable Energy, we saw an innovative concept that is synergistic with the strong expected growth of renewables, and is based on competencies and technologies derived from academia and consolidated sectors where the founders come from. We are happy to support this venture with a small contribution, and in addition to having mentored them through the Encubator program, we will keep up a regular dialogue to share lessons learned and our perspective as an industrial operator." Davide Dotti – Business Innovation Director, Edison SpA
